Angry Birds??? Why is it so popular?

Angry Birds: Apple's most successful App for the Ipod touch and IPhone! But why? What makes this simple game that is a series of different levels and challenges to the end of knocking down the structures and killing the dastardly little pigs that have stolen the eggs of the birds. Hence, their anger has been kindled to the point of launching themselves at brick walls and layers of wood and ice.

Seems a little radical right? Guess again! Apple announced that over 100 million downloads over all the platforms its available on. At an estimated $1.99 a pop...that's a fair chunk of change that is being handed over to the designers of this "epic little game." 

But what makes it so popular?

• Simplicity, according to Shane Richmond of The Telegraph, is the key to the addictiveness of the game.
• Word-of-Mouth also is a huge aspect in the spreading of this game, especially among students and also among the "office world."
• Gradual Increase of Complexity keeps the gamers interest at a peak and keeps them focused to "just reach the next level."
• The "Star System" is an intricate part of the re-play value to the game.

So, when are you going to get a move on and pick up your copy of the worlds most successful Ipod game to date? Give it a try with the Lite version, and hey, if you like it, why not give in and drop off $1.99 and pick up the full version of this "Epic Little Game?"
