Great way to make sure you hear the timer if you're cooking something, and easy to use.

For those of us with ADD, this is a great way to keep track of time for anything. Need to get in the shower in half an hour? If I'm on the computer, I might lose track of that. But not if I set this baby. It's right around my neck, so my chance of losing it is greatly reduced.

Also, we ADDers have a hard time getting started on tasks, especially big ones. What I do is tell myself "I'll just work on it for 10 minutes; I can do anything for 10 minutes." (This is where you set the timer.)

Ten minutes is usually enough to get my hyperfocus to kick in, so I often keep going and get a good part of the task done. Also, I'm very oppositional and I don't like being interrupted by timers, so this is a great way to be able to blow it off without getting in trouble.

I think only someone else with ADD would fully understand that last bit.

The answer the my question is LocoRoco. Yes a 35 year old female who has seldom if never picked up a controller to play a video game loved this game.

Why?

Here is why:
- Controls, the basic movement is controled by the L and R index buttons. You move through the world in a fluid intuitive roll.
- Visual language. The vibe is very friendly and "cute". Not blood or aggression.
- Characters. The main character is endearing and sings.

You have to see the game to understand.
I believe its the first in a new breed of game that will appeal ot a much broader audience.

My dad used to lock our Coleco in his office. To control how much we played.
needless to say we (my brothers and friends) became master locksmiths.

We would spend afternoons afterschool huddled in a smalle 8x5 office playing Zaxxon and Donkey Kong.
We made my little brother stand watch.
I am happy to say that the life of crime did not continue.

To use a cliche, small things come in good packages. Or something like that.

Having 700+ titles in your pocket and still being able to fit a snickers bar, your keys and a pack of gum is no small feat.

Being able to stick to the classics like super mario bros brings back some great memories.

Again, if you are stuck at the DMV, Church, Doctors office, um traffic.. in your carpool, what better way to say, "Hey I am old, still a geek and proud!"
