"Angry Birds studio Rovio has announced Bad Piggies. Offering a new take on the Angry Birds franchise, the physics puzzler will be available for iOS, Android and Mac from September 27. Windows Phone, Windows 8 and PC versions will follow.   &amp;quot;This innovative game turns the franchise on its head by letting the fans play as the pigs - with all new, never-before-seen gameplay - and not a slingshot in sight!&amp;quot; reads a statement by Rovio. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s a lot of empathy towards the lovable enemies from the Angry Birds games, and we&amp;#039;ve been constantly asked: what about the pigs&amp;#039; side of the story?&amp;quot; explained Rovio CEO Mikael Hed. &amp;quot;Bad Piggies gives you the chance to play as the second-most-loved characters in the Angry Birds universe, and explore this rich world through their green eyes.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s so much more to these pigs than what is seen in the Angry Birds games, and Bad Piggies is the first glimpse into what&amp;#039;s going on in the imaginative and ingenious minds of the pigs,&amp;quot; added Rovio&amp;#039;s Petri J\u00E4rvilehto.  Freddie Mercury was recently given the Angry Birds treatment as part of a charity endeavour. Rovio teamed up with the Freddie For A Day HIV and AIDS charity to produce a short video of the late Queen singer as one of the disgruntled avians. Rovio previously teamed up with punk rock act Green Day to launch a special edition of Angry Birds featuring the band on Facebook.
