Angry Birds Go review

Available on iOS (version reviewed), Android, Windows Phone 8 and BB10

Angry Birds Go is the latest addition to the Angry Birds franchise and comes in the form of a Mario Kart-like racing game. This 3D adventure is a downhill, soapbox cart racer where you can play as all the characters from the Angry Birds series.  It’s a rather brave move away from the 2D physics-based point and aim Angry Birds we’re all used to, but one that is still very appealing to gamers of all age groups.

The game is available for iOS, Android, Windows Phone 8 and BlackBerry 10 and is the first Rovio game to be a free-to-play experience. All other mobile Angry Birds games cost 69p for the HD and full games, and are constantly being updated, even several years later.

On a budget…

Vodafone Smart Mini (£49.99)

Many ultra-budget phones are rubbish. However, the Vodafone Smart Mini, which costs just £50, is actually surprisingly good. It has a small 3.5-inch screen, but gives you all the flexibility of the Android operating system. If you really can’t afford any more, this is one of the few ultra-budget phones worth looking at.
