Angry Birds Space
Kovalainen has made the last minute switch to the iconic red Angry Bird design just a week after developer Rovio partnered with NASA to announce the latest addition to its globally dominant app-based gaming sensation, Angry Birds Space.
Set to be officially released next Thursday, March 22nd, Angry Birds Space will bring intergalactic avian fun to iOS and Android devices with the new Angry Birds offering to see users challenge there physics nous, working out gravitational forces to destroy those pesky egg thieving pigs.
