The iconic Russian video game Tetris will be brand-new again once Electronic Arts releases its latest varient on the storied puzzle game when it releases for download via PlayStation Network in December. Tetris PSN gets a facelift wit 1080p HD graphics and features three new gameplay modes that are exclusive to the PS3.
It’s Tetris. Everyone has played it in one form or another over the last twenty years. You’d think that yet another re-release of the game would be just another rehash of what you’ve already played. So what makes the PSN version of Tetris so much different?
I'm still not decided on this. I want it for the local MP but I can play online for free on PC...but this one has a lot more modes, just not sure if those are gimmicky or not.
I have $40 to spend on the store, I guess the big question is if I can get $40 worth of better/more original content.
its tetris same as the old but with several new play modes. I used to play Tetris on the NES so it was more for nostalgia purposes. Overall its not a bad game, the graphics are sharp and the ability to swap pieces makes for an interesting change as well as the additional play modes. Picture a dr mario/columns type challenge with some game modes. Some of the game modes have the board moving around as your pieces fall which makes for a more challenging/frustrating time but imo worth the ten bucks.
If you like the old games Tetris/Dr Mario etc ... give it a chance, if not either wait for the psn plus treatment or stick to the old school way of play.

I wish they put the prices up to. I wonder how much tetris is. If its 5$ ILL buy it maybe. I was just playing it on my OG gameboy, but Id like to play it on TV with the DS3 instead of that tiny, but hulking, GB.
Angry Birds is a good one... though by this point most people have destroyed the game on their iphone or droid..
Also Microbots looks somewhat promising. Nice design, potentially decent customization, but could end up becoming another generic twin-stick shooter. Basically you play as a nanobot inside of a human body destroying viruses and such.
EDIT: ha- seconds after I post this I see some early review scores, they don't look too good... generic twinstick shooter it is I guess? Guess we still have Pixeljunk Shooter 2 to look forward to, right?
It's too bad Angry Birds isn't a full PSN game. But I guess it gets them access to both PSP and PS3 at once.
Angry birds is overrated, IMO. Don`t loose you mind in a cloud of butterflies.
It's fine as a mobile time sink and actually a great game, not so much on a home console though. Not to mention the lack of a touch interface
and Bushido Blade for the PS Move. Sev, one up HHG and make it happen. LOL.
is it a ps1 classic for DL now? I may get that if its available. I remember even my dad liked to play that game, and he dis-likes videogames.
No. I think Sony forgot they made/own Bushido Blade. It`s the best concept that never got progressed. The Move would be absolutely perfect for it. w/ Online......ahhhhhhh. It`s my dream game.
it's awesome. and an incredibly good workout. Literally, spent 5 minutes playing it the first time and the next day was sore all over. When they say stretch before you play, they mean it.
As a Tetris freak from way back, the thought of being able to play the best game ever (really!) in wonderful HD on my PS3 just made my day. And if the recently released screenshots are anything to go by, Tetris fans old and new will not be disappointed.
Bout damn time! A rep from EA told me the reason why they didn't make the PSmini version playable on the PS3 is due to them making a proper PSN version. That seems like forever ago.
many Tetris versions out there, few are really fun and playable, hope this one to be good, yes they can f'up Tetris
I think it has it according to IGN: http://ps3.ign.com/articles...
"all-new ways to play including online against other Tetris players from around the globe"
The up to 6 players + coop/battle (2v2) local MP is what got my attention!
Plus, my gf will love this.
but going to get gt5 instead then after that i will get ac brother hood peace out
Tss, I want a 3-dimensional Tetris where you put the pieces together in cube-ish looking area ^^ That would be fun :D
Above is correct. But it wasn't a square, it was a sphere. I believe it was called Tetris World (not to be confused with Tetris Worlds) and was for the n64. I could be very wrong though. All I really know is that the game does exist and sucks.
best game eva!!! along with Pacman!
Imagine having Tetris in stadiums, with pro Tetris players worshipped the way that Starcraft players are in Korea.
I am currently devoid of Tetris; I must rectify this immediately.
