I hate the endless "zomg angry birds is teh best evar" rhetoric.

How is it that one of the most copied game mechanics in Flash gaming gets treated as original?

Raise your hand if you have played 20 different pre-angry-birds catapult destruction games! Worse yet is that it is like an instant implementation with Box2D.

You got downmodded, presumably for snark (or for being off-topic?) but not being a game dev I'm glad to have learned about box2d; thanks!
