Charge your phone, hide your family, and mourn the loss of your free time. Angry Birds has returned with the latest expansion of their fowl flinging empire, Angry Birds Friends. The new version looks a lot like the old one at first glance. You still fling super powered birds at structures in your quest to destroy the pig army. What’s new is the social interaction of judging your scores against your friends, across every platform Angry Birds on which is available.

Thats right; Facebook, iOS, and Android friends can all play against each other in a seemingly never-ending quest to cook the pigs’ bacon. If you’ve already purchased Angry Birds in the past and don’t want to shell out for another new version, don’t worry. Angry Birds Friends, like friendship, is free.

The app is available now in the iTunes and Google Play stores.

• Knights of Pen and Paper and Angry Birds go free
• Angry Birds Star Wars Gameplay (1080p)
• Let’s Play Angry Birds Rio – Part 9 – Back to the Present
• Angry Birds Presents: Summer Pignic
• Angry Birds Seasons Ham’O'Ween

Two really great apps are free this week. First up, Knights of Pen and Paper is an (in my opinion) underrated and very charming turn-based RPG, with the unique premise that you’re actually playing an old pen-and-paper role-playing game, complete with a dungeonmaster describing every environment you enter and NPC you come across. Or you can play DM yourself, and design an adventure for your gamers. The game is on iPhone and iPad, so more users than ever have a chance to download and enjoy it.

And on the complete other end of the spectrum from underrated, the original Angry Birds app (and its HD counterpart) have gone free on iOS. It’s hard to believe that you haven’t played Angry Birds yet, as there have been lite versions, lots of sales and a number of various spinoffs and ways to play the game on all of its various platforms. But just in case you haven’t gone back and played the original iOS hit, now’s your chance.

Do try Knights of Pen and Paper, though. It’s really good.

Here, finally, must certainly be the last word on Angry Birds. Certified Human Factors Engineering Professional Charles L. Mauro has done an exhaustive report called “A Cognitive Teardown of Angry Birds,” in which he breaks down, piece by ever-lovin’ piece, the throw-birds-at-pigs game and just what it does to users and their experiences.

The whole thing is quite interesting if you’re into user experience design, but the gist is that Angry Birds fits extremely well within our brains’ “mental model” of what the game should be. Not only is that bird-tossing physics engine easily calculated into our cranium, but the game’s bite-sized levels (which you can scroll across to re-check at any time) also play into our short-term memory programming as well.

And finally, Angry Birds nails down the visual experience by being both simple enough for almost anyone to understand, but just complicated enough to remember in an iconic way (so much so that the characters in the game have been turned into cakes, costumes, and even, um, bras. What Angry Birds did is no secret (and lots of other games have aped its look and aesthetics since — that “star rating on tons of levels” feature is now an iOS standby), but Mauro has done an excellent job really breaking down point by point why this game is so astoundingly successful on a cognitive level.
