categories. On Monday, we’ll conclude the Supreme 16 round with the
News and Entertainment and Utility and Productivity Apps. As a result –
the voting will be fast and furious!

Under each pairing, select your favorite among the two choices below. We’ll take it from there.

In round 1, the games category captured the most votes, with old
favorites such as Angry Birds trouncing the competition. As the brackets

rebel birds, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory
against the evil Imperial Pigs. During the battle, Rebel spies managed
to steal secret plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon, the PIG STAR, and
are racing to deliver the plans to the rebel birds. Now they need your
help!
We like this review from the Windows Phone Store in favor of this Angry Birds edition:
