The Birds

Angry Birds are everywhere (and yes the irony of that statement is not lost on me). What was a humble game for a phone has almost reached saturation point.

At Toy World the other weekend (I was there with the family, not just hanging out), there was a whole aisle devoted to the plush toys. Watching 30-Rock, Tina Fey refers off-hand to a level she just can’t beat. While in Barcelona (or Bathelona if you prefer) T-Mobile have created a real life version of the game, complete with accompanying Mariachi Band.

I don’t really want to get into if it’s a great game (it is) or why it is (it just is). Just that it was the 52nd game Rovio had made.

Your first idea might not be the greatest. Nor even the second.

But let’s get started. Who knows where it might lead.
