first-person tetris

As games go, Tetris is hard to improve upon. Things like head-to-head play, “obstacle” Tetris, and 3D variations increase the novelty of the experience, but rarely make for a better game than the original 80s action puzzler. I had yet to see a modification of the original formula that actually makes for a better game, until now. Not only is this a pixel-perfect recreation of the classic Nintendo version, but it comes with a simple, brilliant twist that will make you laugh out loud, tear your hair out, and keep you coming back for more. I played Tetris—this exact version of it, no less—for hundreds of hours, and yet with this one simple change, the entire experience is fresh again. That’s quite an accomplishment.

    This made me dizzy. I don’t like it because I’m not good at it. Worst part of it all, I couldn’t throw the Nintendo remote on the floor in frustration, because in fact my “remote” is a $1300 Macbook.

    grrrrr…..
