The latest game craze to hit Facebook and smartphone platforms, Candy Crush Saga is topping the leaderboard for next week’s Social Star Awards – for now. Once the game du jour, Angry Birds is currently behind Candy Crush – but be sure that the annoyed avian army is going to fight back. Third-year SMU student, Lin Yukai, said of the game which involves launching birds to bring down precariously perched pigs: “It is simple but not brainless. You need to know what angle to shoot and which types of birds to use.” Mr Lin intends to visit the Angry Birds Theme Park in Finland when he goes on a student exchange programme there in August.
