I've got three stars in every level of every game (Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, Angry Birds Rio). Can't wait for the imminent release of the Beach Volleyball update for Angry Birds Rio.

For me, it's fun and challenging.

I didn't really like Angry Birds... not much strategy to it. You're just randomly fling birds at different angles until you kill all of the pigs. Or monkeys, if you're playing the Rio version.

Now, Plants Vs. Zombies... that is a awesome iOS game. The game itself was a bit too easy, but I had fun getting all of the achievements in it!

Umm, the purpose behind angry birds is to 3 star levels, not to just kill the pigs/monkeys. You have to think about what you're doing and it can be quite difficult.

Its challenging and fun at times. Love going for 3 stars on all levels.

Btw... it isn't the birds who are angry.. its you who are angry at the birds after all the frustration.

Fuck those white ones.

Huh? It's the most powerful bird in the game. You get the damage from exploding butt-egg and then slam their carcass into something at high speed.

Yeah the white ones are harder to master, but they are easily the best egg when used properly.

Its fun but after 15 or so levels it is just more of the same.

I wish they would remake The Incredible Machine (TIM) for these phones!

When does the rio update come out for Android?!

Love the game but I don't play for stars, just to beat the levels. I'd go crazy if I went for 3 stars on every level lol

It's been out for awhile now. The Amazon Appstore had the full version for free for a few days.

THATS what I want to know...
I've downloaded it several times and delete it after 10 minutes of playing. Dumb!

I played the free version (Chrome) over the weekend. It was ok.

Now Bejewled 3 is more fun to me.
