Vinny was psyched, this is the first time the Kinekt actually did what he said.

Does the $40 include an Activision employee coming to my front door at 7am on a Sunday morning, and knocking over and over and over and over until I answer, and then pissing on my foot?

Aren't all the angry birds things also free on the chrome store? So if you have a phone, tablet, or computer, you don't need to buy this.

Vinny rediscovering the magic of Kinect was pretty damn great here.

Otherwise, holy shit this is expensive.

I would go so far as to call myself one of the bigger fans of Angry Birds on Giant Bomb. And there's some nice fresh art in this game.

But fuck this for $40.

They over-charge for a 99 touch-based flash game, but leave out the (best) addition which is Angry Birds Space? I thought the price-tag was ridiculous, but these things they get away with are getting a bit old.

oooooooooh Angry Birds is a GAME. I always thought 'angry birds' was a euphemism for masterbatin'. Pretty awkward whenever I heard people mention it in public.

I don't know whats worse. The fact that their charging this much for Angry Birds or the hideous fact that this is probably one of the best games on Kinect.

Error.

Even as a $10 downloadable game it would be pushing it really, and no Angry Birds Space?

At least some extra levels or something, jeez.

@adam1808 I do maybe not for this game but he works for a game website do your homework before the quicklook. He did the same thing for xcom a game he's reviewing and one of the bigger games this year did it twice. During the live look with the devs, said said Xbox 360 and of and what was crazy the devs didn't correct him and again on the quick look with Jeff where Jeff had to correct him.

If nothing else for the people who want to play angry birds for free, you can also find it in the games section of facebook. This looks like an okay version of this but after playing it elsewhere, can't say I'd want to buy it again.

You can get it for free on your computer by installing Google Chrome, no mobile device needed.

The fact that Activision published this explains a whole lot.

It's just a weird thing. The whole reason these simplistic games are as popular as they are is because there's not much competition on phones or other such devices. I can't imagine paying 40 dollars to play a product that is intrinsically "inferior" (I don't intend for that to be an elitist statement) to a vast collection of other games on said platforms.

@AngelN7: Same with my mom.

Best I can figure this is for people with young kids who want to play Angry Birds, who don't have a mobile device, yet for some reason have an Xbox, aren't savvy enough to find it online, and have more money than sense.

So, for those ten people.

Yeah, the Chrome version is free and has hidden collectibles that unlock exclusive levels.

These are excellent podcast-listening games and I have to say - being able to get a platinum trophy for all those hours might just be enough for me to pick this one up... when it's 10 bucks on Amazon.

The lack of Bad Piggies or Angry Birds Space is a bummer though.

Even if you didn't have a mobile device, you could play Angry Birds free on the Google Store or on Google Plus or something.
