The Greatest

There was some major action in the gaming industry this week - Microsoft showcased Project Natal the motion sensing controller (surely it cant work that well...) But while the video game industry continues to innovate and make money while everybody else struggles we should stop, pause and celebrate the 25th birthday of Tetris. Even if you’re not a big gamer you would have moved a few bricks in your time



The real Russian revolution was instigated by Alexey Pajitnov and Vadim Gerasimov, and is the best selling video game of all time with over 125 million copies sold since it debuted on an IBM PC in 1984....wii sports? not even close.

I would say that Tetris transcended games; its an institution.


Get it here at http://www.alzmedia.com/games/tetris.php - you get more points by building it high and using the long thin blocks to create 4 lines

Happy Birthday - you still destroy all games in this genre!
