Rovio Angry Birds Follow-Up Will Let You Play as the Pigs?

Rovio, creator of the popular Angry Birds game, is reportedly planning a follow-up game that will let you play from the perspective of the pigs, according to Pocket-Lint.

The idea of the new game will see you trying to protect the eggs you've grabbed from the birds, but still feature a catapult and the now famous wooden and stone structures.

The game, which is expected to be available sometime before Christmas, will feature a number of different pigs and -like the birds in Angry Birds - they will come with different strengths and skill sets.

Rovio recently announced that its second game to be released will be Amazing Alex. That game features a houseful of fun toys that Alex can set up to bounce, pop, ricochet, bash, and crash into each other.
