Forget about all the other announcements from Google in their I/O conference. All that matters is the announcement that Angry Birds finally made its way to Google Chrome.

It’s now available in the Chrome Web Store with 70 free levels. Chrome also gets some exclusive content: there’s 7 levels part of a so-called “Chrome Dimension”. This web version of Angry Birds will also soon support the new in-app payments system, so new (paid) content will probably make its way to this Chrome version.

As if I didn’t have enough time-wasters already…

Our beloved Pac-Man just got an upgrade. The World’s Biggest Pac-Man is a patchwork quilt of user-generated levels, featuring 4794 mazes at the time of writing. Every maze has an exit point on each of its four sides, leading to its neighbours. It’s a virtually endless Pac-Man game. I pity those with gaming OCD…

Anyone can log in using Facebook and design their own levels, or just play for fun.

The game was unveiled at Microsoft’s MIX11 developer conference as a way to promote Internet Exporer 9 and its support of HTML5, but it should run well in any browser that supports the new standard, like Chrome and Firefox.

Remember those little LCD hand-held games that were around before the Game Boy? Well, someone took upon themselves to make them playable in a browser. There’s 17 of them available so far, and more to come soon.

What a nostalgic way to waste a few hours…

Oh joy! Angry Birds is finally on the PC! It’s available through the Intel AppUp Store for $4.99 (less than €4). By the way, the Intel AppUp Store is just an “app store” for Windows PCs, which I didn’t even know existed until 10 minutes ago…

Here’s a complete guide on how to get Angry Birds on your PC.

I anticipate a lot of hours wasted throwing birds at pigs…

I’m still grieving the fact that my laptop can’t handle StarCraft 2 (it overheats and shuts itself down), so maybe I can overlook the “attack function” and FarmVille instead.
