Angry Birds launch into space

Everyone has tried various spin-offs, from Angry Brides to Angry Anna, but the original Rovio game, Angry Birds, still remains hugely popular. The success of the game has revealed the potential that mobile games have in today's world as users increasingly turn to smartphones. Now the creators of the game have taken the game to the final frontier, or so it would seem, by launching the Pigs vs Birds battle straight into Space.[caption id="attachment_252508" align="alignleft" width="380" caption="They're in Space now.

"Angry Birds Space has a new twist compared to earlier versions of the game, incorporating new characters and a new physics engine, obviously because the game has been transported to an environment that is devoid of any gravity."

If you are one of those lucky few who've bought the new iPad, you can check out the game in HD mode $2.99. For Mac users, it's available on the App Store for $4.99.
