Angry Birds

games,gadgets,entertainment news,Entertainment Angry Birds Cost: £2.99
We\'re addicted to Angry Birds here at handbag towers, so much so that when our entertainment assistant had her handbag stolen the other week her first thought didn\'t go to her passport, it went to her iPod Touch and her Angry Birds high score. That\'s how addictive this little game from Chillingo Ltd is. And it\'s even bigger and better on the iPad. Pigs have stolen your eggs and it\'s up to you to dish out revenge. Attack the swine in their fortified castles using logic, skill and brute force. Advanced warning, this game will take over your life.
