So? There were a great many tower defense games before Kingdom Rush and Plants vs Zombies but that doesn't make them any less awesome.

Angry Birds is great not because it is an original game but because they took a common game style and made it much more fun than usual.

A great portion of game developers should take note of that.

I don't know anything about this angry bird thing, but how can the prime minister of the UK have time to play such a game? Might as well see him play CoD MW3 with Obama and Putin in the Lincoln Bedroom.

My issue is that these small project games are that they are becoming more and more popular because they're extremely easy to start up and have the potential for gargantuan profits. So I hope that people don't start solely focusing on these types of games because it might mean less high production games.

Playing a game like Mass Effect 3 feels like a worthwhile experience. Angry Birds and such games just feel like a waste of time.

I only played it once and on a plane ride on my brothers phone to kill the time I don't even know why that game is popular defender is leaps and bounds better for android.

It's all a matter of taste. Lots of Toms readers dislike Angry Birds I see. I didn't like it either and was surprised of success. But when I got my hands on it.. Me and my other half couldn't wait to play the game. We were playing on iPod touch one level after another while sharing the device. Just got addicted until finished all levels with 3 stars :) Waste of time? Maybe.. Still, quite a fun game. I know there were similar ones before, but this one was finished all the way from simple story to sounds and gameplay.

Could 'Angry Birds' be the 'pet rock' of this decade?

I mean where we, 20 year later, wonder...how in the world could it become THIS successful?

and while I never played it myself (seems to be a variation of the Tower Defense type games) I don't see anything wrong with 'wasting' a little time on something like it.
The brain needs junk food too :)

I'm no fan of Angry Birds and consider it as "successful shovelware".

It would be kind of neat if they let you put real birds in a giant slingshot and shoot them at real pigs in this theme park.

Why? How? Unless they put people in a sling and throw them into wooden structures... not worth it.

Hey, if there is going to be an INTERNET themed park, why not Pornoland?
