Like it, the ISS doesn’t seem to produce much in the way of cutting edge science.
I very strongly doubt that Angry Birds in Space will be all that educational or that it will generate any kind of uptick in actual interest in science.

I picked it up with one of the Humble Bundle game packs last year – really enjoy it.

Surprisingly difficult to get used to at the visceral level, even when you know the math.

I have it on my iPhone, not sure if it’s made it onto other platforms yet.
