AnGRy BirDs

I have Angry Birds on my Kindle Fire.

For the non-game playing readers, Angry Birds is a video game and I'm totally hooked.  My eight-year-old nephew Justin has been playing it on his dad's smart phone for over a year.

Angry Birds is a strategy video game developed Rovio Mobile with over 12 million copies of the game purchased for play. (Do you have your copy yet?)

In the game, players use a slingshot to launch birds at pigs stationed on or within various structures, with the intent of destroying all the pigs on the playing field. As players advance through the game, new birds appear, some with special abilities that can be activated by the player.

Angry Birds has been praised for its successful combination of addictive gameplay, comical style, and low price.

Each level starts with the number, types, and order of birds pre-determined. If all of the pigs are defeated by the time the last bird is used, the level is completed and the next level is unlocked. Points are scored for each pig defeated as well as for damage to, or destruction of, structures, and bonus points are awarded for any unused birds.

Upon completing each level, players receive one, two, or three stars, depending on the score received. Players may re-attempt unlocked levels as many times as they wish in order to complete them successfully or to earn additional points or stars.

Angry Birds is so wildly popular that it has spawned Angry Birds Seasons, Angry Birds Rio, and Angry Birds Space.
