Why ARE Those Birds so Angry

Angry Birds is pretty much the Pong of my son's generation. If there were a water cooler, my guess is that it would be 99% of the conversation for the boys anyway.

It's a simple slingshot game, firing those angry little birds into the various structures inhibited by those nasty green pigs.. Pretty simple (if unlikely).

Is it great for ADHD kids? Maybe. It is so addictive, it allows for sustained attention, plus there is memorization and planning in to achieve each level.  There will be frustration eventually, so a walk through can be purchased (an app that "walks you through" how to move further when you are stuck). There is physics involved (although it's pretty pretty basic).

Here's the reason why I'd approve it for an ADHD kid:

My son is quite social. He's pretty happy to tell just about everyone on the playground, what to play and how to play it (and most of the time he convinces them, too). He also likes to inform kids of what he knows... So far, no one seems to bothered in his class and his teacher praises him for it... but not all ADHD kids (especially those that may have also be on the spectrum) have that innate ability, so why not give them the common  denominator for a quick (and easy) conversation with just about any other kid?
