we now have Angry Birds.

Fun, but simple, easy-to-win kids game

Beat the whole game in an hour.

This was a big deal why?

Next?

LOL you're an Ace.

Now what...howabout machinarium - I still cant get past the toll bridge. Can't climb the lamppost for that matter - even with clear instructions on how to do it. I'm a game spaz.

Now all we need is Grand Theft Auto 3. I'm going to hold out and not buy the Android version, I'll wait for a Playbook version instead. It'd be sweet to play it on the PB's 7" screen, and I'm willing to bet we will be seeing it in App World soon.

[pdzamirski]

anybody can beat angry birds in an hour. The hard and fun part is getting 3 stars and all the extras on all maps

[anon3969612]

OK... I'll get right on that

er.. nah... I'm bored by the game already.

Woulda sold a lotta playbooks at launch for full price with this pre-loaded... chuckle

This post gave me a headache.

Sigh...yes, indeed. Our long national nightmare is over...

Actually there are quite a few "fart" apps on App World, they just aren't PlayBook compatible, which tells you that even the lowest common denominator developers aren't interested in PlayBook development.

[wgr0104]

If that's what we need to gain recognition than ill make 5 different fart apps for playbook

Climb up as high as you can.
Tap on the bottom rung to add it to your inventory
Use the rung on the holes in the pole
Climb up one more step
Repeat the process on the next hole
Climb up as high as you can
Stretch to max height
tap the lightbulb to add it to your inventory.

I assume you've already figured out how to make the rest of the hat?

Dude, I want to follow you, I really do, but you gotta space things out and be coherent.

Otherwise I'm glad you like your Playbook

You say "interested" I say "capable"

How are people clueless as to why this is a "big deal" for the playbook? Its easily the most played mobile game on all platforms. Its as if Madden was available for PS3 and 360, but not for the Wii... definitely a big win for us. Can anyone give a bigger release thats happened for the PB in the last few months?

As an avid game player, I find it cute, simple and after a dozen or so levels, quite boring. The number of posts that had it included as 'must have' for Playbook along with PIM, native e-mail Netflix and Skype is remarkable.

And as for big win, I guess if RIM had got it on the device in April, it would have sold thousands, on the strength of a popular but **-hum game. I'm not disputing the popularity, obviously it's popular, however, it fails to live up to the hype. However, if that's what it takes to sell technology...

I agree with what others have posted, that if a popular developer ports their product natively to Playbook, that is a win.

Just some observations,
