Accepting theses games means you have to make an effort to not give into the distraction factor. And that’s a fine reason to steer clear of them. But in moderation, they are okay.

Guess it’s good that 10 minutes of play is more than enough. My own short re-addiction is wearing thin, as my stress levels return to”normal,” so that’s good as well. Like you say though, I can’t quite delete the game just yet…I got pretty good at it and maybe there’ll be a time to return to it in the future. Maybe. :-)

Like I play bubble stella or cut the rope when I’m writing to get my mind off an article. I think it is beneficial but sometimes those games can get you really distracted.

One, because it kills the battery fast on my Android device and two, I found other outlets to deal with my stress. I probably should purge my phone of the Angry Birds and Cut the Rope variety, but I sometimes think I may want to play them again when the mood strikes. Although, it still hasn’t struck in so long! :P
