XMG Studio is an indie iOS developer in Toronto that's gotten to work with some very decidedly un-indie licenses.

I spent about the last two weeks working my way through the levels of Angry Birds HD, a wacky and addictive game for iPad in which you slingshot birds at pigs to kill them. Yeah, I know it sounds weird, but if you have played the game, you know that it's a great way to kill a few hours days worth ...
