Facebook-heavy Angry Birds Valentine's Day Edition hits app stores

Angry Birds Like
Just as predicted last week, the Valentine's Day edition of Angry Birds has hit the Apple App Store and Android Market, Mashable reports. However, this version of the infamous bird-slinger holds a few interesting features that survived the rampant media leaks. In addition to 15 heart-packed levels rimming with cute, Rovio has embedded some heavy Facebook integration into the game this time around.

Right from the home screen, players can use Facebook Connect to send their friends Angry Birds-themed Valentines in adorable little News Feed posts. Unfortunately, Mashable wasn't able to work this feature as of this writing, so hopefully Rovio is working on a hot fix. Moving on to the second page of the game's levels and clicking that big old "Like" button will unlock three more levels to play around in. Not to mention it likely causes Angry Birds updates to pop up in your own News Feed like any normal "Like."

Of course, there are Golden Eggs to collect in this version of the game, but Rovio has decided to help with a pre-loaded Bing web search. Packed with tips for how to find each Egg, clicking on the "Bing" button will open up the loaded search in your phone's browser. Given that the developer already has a Rio-themed game on the way in March, you can expect more in-game marketing from the Angry Birds in the future. And oddly enough, I don't mind at all.

With Angry Birds playgrounds, your kids might never come back inside

At this point, the only way to go up is to build an Angry Birds theme park. For the moment, Angry Birds-themed playgrounds should do just fine. Rovio partnered with Lappset Group to create two playgrounds in Finland complete with play equipment inspired by the iconic mobile game-turned-entertainment brand. The playgrounds will arrive in Rovaniemi and Espoo next year.

"The activity parks perfectly tie in with the Angry Birds world and our way of thinking," Rovio "Mighty Eagle" and CMO Peter Vesterbacka said in a release. "We will be developing a service which brings together the digital world and the physical world in a way that's never been seen before. The popularity of Angry Birds isn't restricted to any age, sex or social group, and the activity parks too will be designed to be interesting places for absolutely everyone, all around the world."

Every piece of play equipment --20 in total--in the parks will evoke a piece of the Angry Birds universe. Kids will romp around on everything from Angry Birds spring riders to climbing towers with slides. According to Kotaku, the playgrounds will even feature kid-friendly slingshots. And somehow, Rovio looks to merge the world of its games with these kiddie parks.

Of course, the Angry Birds are no stranger to exposure in the real world. Rovio has released numerous pieces of Angry Birds merchandise including even a cookbook. People have made life-sized games of Angry Birds, and Rovio has spurred thousands to scream at the Angry Birds. If you ask us, this is Rovio simply prototyping its Angry Birds Fortress of Solitude.
