Angry Birds Not Coming To Xbox LIVE

I played angry birds back in the early 90's when it was called Scorched Earth.
That one even had a 2 player version.

The only thing even similar is flinging a projectile at an arc. get real. A better comparison would be Crush the Castle, a flash game that you can play for free.
 
Oh cmon people. If you don't like a game, it doesn't mean that everyone else shouldn't like it. For example Angry Birds is an easy game to play and you don't have to pay that much attention to detail (just flick a finger and boom..). Sure you can say it's very simple and you'd rather spend a lot of time playing for example RDR. But can you play RDR on the go for a couple of minutes on-the-go? It's not necessarily true that AB is the next gen gaming, but it sure as hell is part of a gaming platform that wasn't thought to be a good and versatile platform to develop, let alone be profitable (remember N-Gage anyone?). I personally think that playing a good RPG for example is a way to spend time when waiting for a bus or something, but not everyone wants to play Golden Sun. I'd play it, but not everyone

On the other hand Rovio should think a bit more what they spout at the media.. Console games dying? Yeah right....

It's not so much as that Angry Birds suck (even though that's what we're all talking about), it's the fact that some guy who just made a game based on another flash game when the internet was first made, sold a lot and now he thinks that he knows the gaming industry and knows what us consumers want.
 
I played Crush the Castle one and two, and honestly, I think the physics work better in those games than Angry Birds (now that I've had the chance to play it for a little bit). Angry Birds is fairly boring in comparison to Crush the Castle too. I was able to play Crush the Castle 1 and 2 all the way through due to new projectiles fairly frequently, intricate set ups that took some aiming in the skill. I mean, in Angry Birds, you just pull it back and choose an arc. At least in the flash game, you have the strategy of choosing how much power goes into it.

I don't see the appeal of this game. It's not only a rip off, but the developer thinks he's a god of game development for making something popular on the iDevices which for the most part, only has lots of ported flash games, or games equal to the entertainment value.
