Angry Birds Rio free on iTunes this week

It is the free app of the week, and for those that do not like to buy apps no matter what they cost, now you can link up with the popular Angry Birds Rio game for free.

Normally the game runs $0.99 for the iPhone and $2.99 for the iPad. The game does offer in-app purchases, and those prices have not been waived, so you will want to remember that when pondering whether or not to acquire extra bundles of tools. Some in-app purchases for Angry Birds Rio run as much as $20.

Angry Birds Rio brought the first new twist to the Angry Birds genre and Rovio has since updated the app with power-ups (in-app purchases) which give you extra anti-monkey tools to work with while hurling the birds off the sling-shot. So, if you have been looking to dig into a new game, but also looking for a bargain, check out Angry Birds Rio on iTunes.
