    Angry Birds Dream Blast Now Available for iOS and Android


    Today marks the release for Rovio Entertainment's Angry Birds Dream Blast. Unlike pretty much every other entry in the Angry Birds franchise, this one is a "casual tap-to-match puzzle game." You're popping bubbles in this one.

    "Time-to-fun?" I feel like that should be a new requirement...
