I must admit I have not had the pleasure of playing Angry Birds, but if GoNintendo's description of the game is correct and it is indeed "like Boom Blox but with birds and pigs" it is something I will be downloading onto my iPod Touch immediately, or perhaps I should wait until the newly announced DS, PSP and PS3 versions land. Decisions, decisions.
Details are scarce on the handheld/console version of the game, so it isn't clear if it will be updated with new features or whether it will simply be the same game. We don't even know if it will be retail on any of the systems. All we know is that the game's creator, Joe Wee, said, "We are also releasing it on Nintendo DS, Sony PSP and PS3,"
With so little information my impatience has won out. I am off to download it now, and regret it later.

It's the same with Knights in the Nightmare. Some things just work better without buttons.
Totally worth it. Addictive, and the controls are simple enough to work great on the iOS platform.
@Broken - because people will buy it on the DS and PSP/3
@Blaine - The game doesn't really show it's true colors until you're about 30 levels in. It gets deceptively difficult and requires using the right bird in precisely the right spot to proceed. I'm convinced there's only one way to do many of the levels. It's a level of complexity that Crush the Castle and other clones of that game lack.
