‘Angry Birds Halloween’Goes Seasonal With Update» MTV Multiplayer

In terms of bang for your buck, few games on the App Store are able to stretch a dollar further than"Angry Birds."Scoff if you will, but if you've bought the iPhone best seller, you've likely sunk at least a few hours into the physics puzzler. A few weeks ago,"Angry Birds Halloween"was released for a dollar, adding 45 creepy, pumpkin-filled levels.

In terms of value, it didn't quite match the original"Angry Birds,"which boasts around 200 levels, thanks to numerous free updates, but give it time! In an update, Rovio changed the name of"Angry Birds Halloween"to"Angry Birds Seasons."What does this mean for you? Well, for starters, 25 free Christmas-themed levels. As the name implies, this won't be the last update to the game. Expect regular content packs tied to different holidays throughout the year. No word yet on whether they'll all be free, but given the success of the pricing model for the original"Angry Birds,"I'd imagine Rovio will be keeping things cheap.

Interestingly, the levels in"Angry Birds Seasons"are actually tied to specific dates, so you won't be able to play all 25 Christmas levels until, you guessed it, Christmas Day. A new level will unlock every day until then.

While it's clear that Rovio is cashing in on the"Angry Birds"craze, it's hard to fault them for it when they're just asking for a dollar for so much content. Heck, you may even think they deserve more than that. If so, Rovio has started sellingofficial plush Angry Birdsfor $15. It won't make a good holiday gift, as orders made today won't ship until January, but if you're looking for a limbless bird to snuggle with in 2011, this is your best bet.
