Recommended Game: Angry Birds

The Slingshot

The premise of Angry Birds is simple:  Use the slingshot to launch birds and attack structures that are hiding pigs. The object on each level is to “pop” all of the pigs before running out of birds.

Different birds do different things: some split into pieces, some explode upon impact, and so on. Each offers a different twist on demolition strategy.

I purchased this as a $3.99 download for the PSP, and I’ve gotten way more mileage out this title than most games I’ve spent actual money on. It’s sort of a spiritual successor to Artillery for the Apple 2e — I’ve been looking like a game like that for ages.

Blue Birds causing mayhem!

Download it for your favorite platform, it’s hours of addictive fun!

Angry Bird!

 

In closing, isn’t the resemblance uncanny between the Angry Bird, and:

Giada De Laurentiis!
