GeekDad Parents, Kids and the Stuff We Obsess About
Happy Birthday to the Greatest Game Ever - Tetris Turns 25

This month, Tetris turns 25. Let’s ponder that thought for a moment. That means back in 1984 the game was created by Alexey Pajitnov while he was working at the Moscow Academy of Sciences. The cold war ended right after that. Could Tetris have meant that much to the world? Well, I’m not sure about that coincidence, but it sure meant a ton to the lot of us. I think I speak for every geek, mild gamer and well, pretty much everyone else when I say that Tetris is the greatest game ever created. So after 25 years of playing Tetris we have to take a moment to reflect on one of man’s greatest gaming accomplishments.
http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2009/06...tris-turns-25/

to one of the greatest games ever made, a game that you can never get tired of

Tetris helped shape the way I looked at life. Every problem, every situation was simply a random arrangement of blocks moving at increasingly more difficult speeds. Decision making became more precise, box stacking became more efficient.
That made me lol

The SP is awesome as always The multiplayer is insane.The game is a lot more balanced than COD4 and feels a lot better. The maps in MP are awesome. The game is totally worth the $60.
