Angry birds to make PC debut in early 2011

The Monday morning skyve will never be quite the same following the announcement that Angry Birds is to make its console – and PC - debut in 2011. 

The official version of the game is reportedly under development for PC, Nintendo DS, Wii, Xbox and PlayStation 3 release in early 2011 as confirmed by the Finnish mobile company Elisa, who were partners with Rovio for the announcement.

The form of distribution for PC is yet to be announced, but regardless of whether its direct download, CD or USB there will doubtless be an army of users itching to ease the Monday morning blues with a PC version in the workplace.

Microsoft had reported that a version of the game was in development for the Windows phone, although Rovio denied that they had committed to creating a Windows version with Microsoft having since removed all references to the game from their site.

Initially designed for iOS, Angry Birds has since been released to WebOS, Symbian and Android, and boasts in excess of 42 million users who have downloaded the game over the various platforms.

And for those of you really can’t wait to launch wingless birds into thieving pigs on a marginally bigger screen, why not track down one of these vintage bad boys to get you through to Spring.
