If you haven’t already played the highly addictive bird flinger Angry Birds on the multitude of platforms it’s already available on – including straight from your Chrome browser – Rovio is now offering a PC version of the original game and Angry Birds Rio for an agreeable $4.95 a pop over on their site. The PC version is compatible with Windows XP SP2 or greater and, of course, does not require a browser to play.
The news comes just a few days after Roku announced plans to bring the popular title to its new line of video-streaming set-top boxes as part of its new casual gaming initiative.
Since the launch of Angry Birds in 2009, the title has been downloaded a mind-boggling 200 million times. With Angry Birds already in the works for WiiWare, PlayStation Network and Xbox Live , it would appear that Rovio has some sort of diabolical plan to take over the digital world. Either that or they just really want people to enjoy flinging birds from a giant slingshot. I’m going to go with the former, personally.
