Despite all the worldwide discussions about the importance and the success of established and new series like GTA, GoW, Uncharted, Halo, Super Mario & Zelda, I bet 20, 30 years from now, Tetris will still be considered as one of the best & most influential game designs of all time.

The original game design and its hundreds of derivates have been (and will be) played by millions of people on millions of handhelds, PCs and mobile phones.

I only kept my GBA because my Tetris cart won't fit in a DS.

Also add to the list the original NES Tetris by Tengen. It by far had the best co-op play. The Nintendo NES Tetris paled in comparison.

I didn´t claim Tetris to be the greatest game of all time, but I think it´s the most influential game design ever created.

Anyway:
Other great “modern” puzzle games are Zoo Keeper, Puzzle Quest & Meteos. And Lumines - which I´ve never played - looks great, as well. All Tetris derivates, btw.

Intelligent  Qube is the best puzzle game ever created.

Tetris & columns for me.

Ok, I put this in another post, but it fits well here... The best puzzle game of all time is......

Brawl Stage of the Week: It's Tetris time

Last week we mentioned that we wanted to feature a DS-related stage. Reader Chris stepped up and sent us two Tetris levels, one of which we chose to feature.

Called "Sziltoj 2," this stage is meant to represent "a Tetris game in progress," according to Chris. Considering the limited amount of tools that you're given in the stage builder, we think he pulled this off pretty well. Come check out how after the break!

Sziltoj 2 by Chris L.

As you can see from the picture above, the Tetris blocks were made with different colored stage pieces so that each familiar shape stands out. All the blocks from the classic title are accounted for at the bottom, aside from the coveted long bar.

Chris added the long block up top, though (depicted in our gallery), which was built by falling boxes to represent Tetris in motion. Evoking the essence of the bar slowly dropping downward by using falling pieces is a simple, but clever idea.

Since Sakurai didn't give us an official stage themed with one of our favorite puzzle games, we have no qualms about brawling on this one.
