Kotaku: Tetris Party hits WiiWare this Monday at a mere 1200 points. Considering all the modes you get for that paltry sum, it's not hard to argue that price is no object. But maybe you're not sold on the idea of a new Tetris that only took 18 years to make. Maybe you need some other incentive to pick and play the game.
RunDLC posted an article on the most embarrassing ways to die or lose in video games, from getting knocked out by Glass Joe in Punch-Out!! to dying right at the beginning of Super Mario Bros.
i hate when the mario one 1-1 especially when friends playing we take turns and takaes forever for controller to come back to me
Getting owned online by younger gamers.. happen all the time. It's a matter of dedication, as we grow ups, we can't just keep play games all day. There are other stuffs to do ya know. So getting owned online by younger kids, well I said I have a fair share of mine. Those who are on tops now may laughs but one day you will join our club... I guarantee
GamesRadar writes: "Tetris! Now on WiiWare! Geometric shapes falling from the sky! Organize them in a space-conserving manner using your mystical powers of rotation! Play until your shape-pile touches the sky or your brain dribbles out of your nose! More addictive than morphine-coated potato chips! If you accosted an early Game Boy adopter in 1989 and told them that nearly 20 years later gamers would be playing the exact same game on their Super-Super-Super-Super NES, then chances are they'd believe you unconditionally. Perhaps their primitive 1980s brains would explode if you told them you could control the action with a balance board or challenge random Venezuelans to a duel in seconds, but that's another matter."
You'll love
* Timeless, addictive gameplay
* Balance board support
* Great new multiplayer modes
You'll hate
* Very basic presentation
* Controversial revisions
* Meh single-player modes
Hudson has been making some respectable WiiWare games that are actually fun and online. It is available for 1200 Nintendo points ($12 US) from the online Wii Shop Channel and is a darn good casual puzzle game for it's price. Makes a game that is more that two decades old seem like a new game and it actually got me excited about playing Tetris again.
