We fly south with the Angry Birds

Welcome to this weeks edition of The Idiots Guide To Gaming. Today we are doing things a bit different, with the introduction of smart phones, and tablets like the ipad and Samsung's Galaxy tablet mobile gaming has seen huge growth. So this week I dedicate this post to the biggest mobile gaming app we've seen so far. Ladies and Gentlemen I give you Angry Birds.

We were 1st introduced to Angry Birds back in 2009 and it was 1st released for those of you who could afford a Mac, iphone, ipod and the all new ipad at that time. Three years later and with over 12 million downloads on Apple's istore the game has been released on smart phones with touch screens and is also available on Android Market place for those of you with smart phones that use Android based operating systems.

The game play is pretty simple and yet tricky at the same time. You basically use a slingshot to shoot the birds at the pigs who are stationed in different structures. The structures get complicated with each level that you complete. Each bird has a special power and in some cases you find yourself with that one bird that you don't want to use. Oh! be careful when you are holding the slingshot, if you hold it for too long? you will end up hitting nothing as you over shoot your bird. If you hold the slingshot for a short time, you'll still end up hitting nothing because you won't make it to the pigs. In order for you to progress to the next level to must destroy all the pigs in that particular level. If you don't manage to hit all the pigs! The pigs will laugh at you! Lol.

So have you played Angry Birds and asked yourself what the hell does this bird do? Well? am also one of those. I keep asking myself what does these birds do and why are they so useless. Below is a list of the different characters you find in Angry Birds and their powers and how to use these powers.

If you own a smart phone with a touch screen, an ipod, ipad, iphone, or a Samsung Galaxy Tab or  Galaxy phone, get yourself Angry Birds. You'll have tons of fun for hours and won't even notice the amount of time you spent playing this game. There are different versions of this game, Angry Birds Seasons, Angry Birds Rio, Angry Birds Space and Angry Birds Magic to name a few. Some of  the versions are free to download from Apple's istore and Android Market Place. You can also play the game online on http://www.angrybirds.com/
