Edit: Angry Birds is on sale for $0.99, normally $1.99.

Private Snowball: Commander, these birds are angry.

Commander Napoleon: What? Why?

Private Snowball: It could possibly be because we stole their eggs to make Sunday Brunch.

Commander Napoleon: No, that can’t be it. We reimbursed them by giving them DDT-infused worms. What’s the worst these angry birds can do?

Private Snowball: Sir, it appears they are launching themselves at our headquarters using a giant slingshot.

The Good: Angry Birds is a gorgeous, cartoony ‘crush the castle’ style game that involves flinging birds of various colors at pigs enclosed in haphazard wooden buildings. It’s like the three little pigs, if the wolf was replaced by a slingshot and homicidal birds. And if clickgamer.com wrote fairy tales, and not games.

The game starts off tame, but eventually new birds and harder levels are introduced. More difficult levels require some intense strategy and some creative solutions. The sheer amount of high-quality and inspired levels offered will keep you hooked for quite a while.

A recent update introduced an impressive 42 extra levels, which makes for one long, long game addition. For the casual gamer or a bird-catapult enthusiast (I know you’re out there), Angry Birds is an absolute must.

The Bad: I can’t say anything bad about this game, except that it’s very addictive.

The Ugly: After downloading this, don’t expect to sleep for a while. Like I said, this game is addicting.
