If you pay attention to technology in any way whatsoever, you've heard of Angry Birds. This smash hit mobile game is available on Android, iPhone, Symbian, and WebOS. But developer Rovio has announced that the game will be arriving on full game consoles in the near future, the BBC reports. The game will be distributed through the online markets on the Wii, Xbox, and PS3.
The shift from touchscreen input to controller input will be interesting for Angry Birds. In the game, players pull back a slingshot to launch birds at villainous, egg-stealing pigs. We imagine the game will have support for the motion control accessories on the various consoles. That would only make sense, and might end up a bazaar selling point of the Kinect. Would you play Angry Birds on your console?

The game is just a time suck, and only relative to phones. A device that offers mild entertainment while you wait at the airport or goof off at work. Hopefully there are better console alternatives.

Because in 6 months, we'll see a study saying "Mouse using PC/Mac/Linux users consistently score higher than handheld-controller-using console players."
