I purchased my first Android Phone – HTC Incredible S – on 22nd April 2011. This is not a review of the phone, because (a) I don’t know enough to write a review (b) There are way too many reviews available anyway and (c) The only person who would probably read this has given sufficient details about it and my review would, at best, only paraphrase what was told to me.
Amongst all the features that are packed in that device, what has caught my attention till date is the Mobile App that was listed as the most downloaded in 2010 – Angry Birds. It was practically the first or second app that I downloaded into my new phone. And in the last 15 days, I have been playing it at every available opportunity – while watching TV, while waiting for friends at the lunch/tea table, in audio conferences (and once, during a video conference too).
In fact, if it weren’t for my car pool
members’ self-preservation instincts, I would be playing it during the numerous traffic jams I encounter daily. And I would also be playing it at the dining table at home, if only my parents didn’t object so much to a mobile phone being brought to the table in the first place.
If you belong to the handful of people who hasn’t played the game yet, please be advised that this is perhaps the best game to be created. One that caters to every demographic that a human being can be classified under. Yes, you do have all the modern multi-player strategy games with amazing visual representations and some which cater to the animal instincts in you. However, it requires a lot of patience and absolute cold-blooded behavior. While most of us show it in the way we work or manage teams or even conduct ourselves in a group, the minute we see such games, we put on a Gandhi cap!
You don’t need to do any of that with Angry Birds. There is killing, but no blood. There is planning, but no undue breaking of head. There is physics, but you don’t need to be Einstein. And best of all, you play it alone. And even better, you can actually play it with just your left hand.
There are birds of different kinds – small ones that are without special powers. Smaller ones which can split into 3 at the tap of a finger. Ones that are ticking time bombs. Ones that can drop a bomb and zip into space. One that can cut through obstacles. Ones that are simply huge and bring a lot of momentum. And one that acts as a boomerang!!!
I have completed all levels available in the game right now. And from yesterday, I have started revisiting all the levels where I didn’t score 3 stars! I will complete that and move on to the other variants that Angry Birds offers to keep its clientele hooked on to the game.
P.S.: I feel that I could have played a few more levels again, instead of writing this review. You are entitled to a similar view as well.

When a file is rendering, I have been known to play Angry Birds on my Mac. Though I don't own fancy uber-cool gen-x phones like you, (am on a BB mobile phone, the company receives an email a day from me, to bring Angry Birds to BlackBerry).
I have also been known to waste time on Stupid Zombies. I suggest that to you.
After you're born and as you wait to die, this is the best way to go.
