MY THOUGHTS

My kids are all huge Angry Birds fans and well, so am I.  My youngest though is all about the Angry Birds and loves the game.  The problem before with this is 3 kids all fighting over  my phone or tablet.  Also them all trying to huddle around the little screens and one or more getting mad cause they can not see.  Imagine my relief and excitement when I heard my favorite birds where coming to PS3.

SO far we have only used the PS3 controllers with the game and plan to try out the Move with it one weekend ( As soon as I can get them charged!  So many things need charging and so few chargers!)  The gameplay with the regular controllers is simple enough for my youngest to do.  All three kids have had a blast playing the game on the big screen and not having to huddle around my tiny phone screen or tablet.  Of course I did have to set up a playing structure so everyone got a fair turn and taking turns worked out great. 

The Trilogy features 3 of the Angry Birds hits - Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, and Angry Birds RIO.  Of course I really would have loved Angry Birds Space included, but I assume that will be in the next installment ( if there is one).  My kids loved that they had an option of which Angry Birds game they want to play.  So it is a safe bet that this game has quickly became our family favorite and has become just as addictive as the apps.

The game is available now where games are sold and is available for the PS3, Nintendo 3DS, and XBOX 360.  The game can also be purchased online at Amazon.com for $ 39.94 for the PS3.  SO be sure to grab the Angry Birds fan in your life a copy to bring home to their favorite game console for the Holidays!
