Angry Birds 2 review – new twists on a familiar friend

Rovio's furious birds and egg-stealing pigs are back, but will their freemium nest-feathering make players fly away in search of a new gaming fix?

Angry Birds 2? This is actually the eighth sequel to Angry Birds, following the Seasons, Rio, Space, Slingshot Stella, Friends and two Star Wars games.

That's just counting the ones that followed the original's form: spin-offs exploring other forms of gameplay include Angry Birds Transformers, Angry Birds Epic RPG, Angry Birds Pop, Angry Birds Fight and Bad Piggies.
