One of the scariest games I have ever played in my life, Angry Birds can take your breath away. I spent two sleepless nights after suffering from shock and trauma after I played Angry Birds. The catapults, the laughs of the brutal green pigs give out an eerie aura to the whole atmosphere which is very scary to say the least. Just kidding! One of the funniest games I have ever played, Angry Birds can be both entertaining as well as addictive. The whole gameplay is very simple but the levels become harder as you move up the levels. The whole game is online, your game progress is automatically saved, no hassles.

Select you option and PLAY!
