Angry Birds Space rockets to #1 paid app
Less than a day after launch, the Angry Birds newest adventure in space has landed them atop the charts as the #1 paid app on iOS.
The game only launched today, but Angry Birds Space rocketed past Draw Something as the #1 top selling and top grossing app for the iOS platform, and it continues to climb into an orbit all its own on the iTunes App Store. (OK, enough space cliches).
Zynga just recently purchased Draw Something developer OMGPOP just in time to see the app lose its foothold on the top spot.
Angry Birds developer Rovio has built a strong name for the franchise and I suspect that Rovio and Zynga will be going head-to-head a bit more often, especially once that OMGPOP has a chance to build on the success of its first endeavor with Zynga's deep pockets behind it.
Give the PC version a whirl with the PC demo, which you can download here from Shacknews.

Shame because Angry Birds is actually shit. An insult to gaming.

As if...
And yeah, if you think the unimaginative turd that is Angry Birds qualifies as a game...well...seek help.-
Relax. Not all games have to be sprawling story arcs and action sequences.

Tell that to the people who jumped down my throat for expressing my opinion.
I think Angry Birds is shit, shallow and an insult to gaming. That's my opinion. Also I carry myself rather well in person. "Real life" is a misnomer, is this fake life? Me typing on here? Or virtual life?
Get a grip man, also learn how to ride the flame boat, this is the internet. I expect nerd rage from fools whenever I express a negative opinion about a game a lot of retards enjoy.-

I have no problem with other people liking the game but, buried in that article, there's actually a good summary of why I dislike it.
It's all a bit too arbitrary/random for me. I played it for a while but then found I was more frustrated by it than entertained.
I could three-star Cut The Rope levels from now until the end of time, but with that it's about working out what to do with clever puzzles and sometimes getting the timing right. With Angry Birds, it seems like you work out what to do pretty quickly but then have to spend ages repeating attempts to get the luck aspect right, trying the same thing over and over again until it finally works. At least if you want to three-star the levels (but it seems kinda pointless if you don't go for that, at least to me).
Like I say, I don't think other people are "wrong" for liking the game, and that article is dumb in many ways. (Who cares if the amount of time put into a form of entertainment is greater than the time people put into building Wikipedia or whatever? You could say that about almost anything. Chances are, many of the people who build Wikipedia also entertain themselves with Angry Birds, and come away refreshed and ready to build more as a result.)

I have said some stupid shit on the shack in my day. Thanks for making me feel better about myself.

Why is piracy so rampant.
Well , I wants the Android version, which is craptacular ad paid.
But the Amazon store has it ads free for 99c.
Great, I'[ll grab that...oh wait I can't, because of some stupid regional lock, apparently Australians are unable to access such advanced US technology.
So I download the APK.
I wanted to pay for this, I did, but the stops and blocks put in the way of a simple transaction are bewildering-
You can also purchase the ad-free version from the Android Market

Hey man, don't you know how entertaining it is to fling an arbitrary object at a 0-90 degree angle over 400 stages or whatever and essentially do the same, basic, repetitive task each time?
It's fun central...*yawn*...really. -

I don't understand it at all. My gf has the trial on her Lumia, and I've had a play but it's not interesting enough for me to even get through the trial missions. I think I did about 6 of them, realised it's the same thing every time, so stopped. Maybe they mix it up a little later on, but it seems to have less depth than most browser based flash games. :|

Omfg I just got ripped off for a total of less than four dollars for a game on two devices. Alert the media. Call the police.

You can get the low def version for 99 cents. The $3 looks really good.

I never played the original angry birds for more than a few minutes at a time. Space is awesome tho, havent been able to put it down.

error correction, Draw Something is _not_ OMGPOP's first endeavour. They've released 30-40 games. If you go to their website this is immediately obvious. http://omgpop.com/#/arcade. They may have hot the lottery but it was hardly their first swing at bat
