These cheep games are great, for 5 - 10 min at a time. They have no story. No intrigue. No production value.
Compare Agree Birds to Mass Effect.

ME = A Story, a movie, voice actors, interaction, PLOT...

At 5 times the cost of going to a movie by yourself, (or renting a movie), that is 1.5 – 3hrs you can buy a game and get 1 - 3hrs of cinematic scenes + 50 – 100hrs of play.
