"If your Tetris lasts more than 4 hours..." TETRIS AXIS.

That's the best tagline I've seen in a long time.

Um.. when did the site get Ads before it played a video? Is this now a Vevo service?

Thank you! I feel like I'm the only one who's been complaining about this. I mean, sh** - the LEAST they could do it not run the same half-minute long Dead Island ad every fucking time.

Also, Tetris is overrated. I wouldn't be surprised if people missed out on the great Game Boy games because all they did was play this dumb thing. All "hardcore gamers" who did that - you're just like the soccer moms who only played Wii- or now Kinect-Sports. Ugh.

BAWWWWWWWW THERE ARE ADS! If you dont want to see the ads, become a sub. The reason the dead island ad is the only one is because its the only offer they got/felt comfortable accepting at this time.

This looks pretty cool. I also love the 'table flipping' animation on the versus mode (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

What ads?

If you don't like ads then go to Gamespot, IGN or someting. Why not Youtube? Ow wait.

It's about fucking time you start realizing that what they do costs money and if you expect them to keep on doing it then they have to sell ad space. Stop being a bunch of entitled shits! SHIT AIN'T FREE!!!

Once I played the Tetris theme on guitar for a half hour straight.  And it was time well spent.

tetris is best when the blocks are balanced on vinny's crotch.

it is known.

edit: the 3d is doing horrible things to this game, in terms of lag. christ.

second edit: I just spent like 15 minutes trying to remember the music from around 17 minutes in, before realizing it was the waltz from swan lake. durr. I'm an idiot

and then after that is um, whatever the name of the dance from the nutcracker with the russian flowers from fantasia is, only remixed by someone with bad taste. and then something I've never heard, then dance of the sugar plum fairy.

@vinsanityv22: First off become a member or install ad block. You'll never see an ad again. Secondly who the hell are you to tell people what games to play. If someone got a gameboy and all they played was tetris, that is their business. Soccer moms don't care about Dark Souls or Skyrim. Get over it. There are probably lots of games you don't like, but people don't shit all over you because of it.

I think Nintendo and Gamestop want this game to fail, my local Gamestop didn't even know they had it, and they only received 3 copies, all preorders (one of them mine), so they won't even be putting the game on the shelf.
