Tetris is one of the 1st games most of us remember playing as kids. Through the years puzzle games have come and gone, but Tetris is the constant. You would have thought Tetris would have been a standard game that came with the ps3, but you like me were wrong. EA has got off thier asses to deliver Tetris with some new twists and some updating.

The first thing EA did with Tetris is wash it in beautiful HD. EA could have stopped there and I would have been fine with that, but they didn’t. Lets talk single player action. EA has kept the standard marathon mode where you drop blocks till you lose. EA have also included different modes of gameplay called “variants”. These variant modes are different twists on the standard Tetris game. Some variant modes include added gravity, keeping below a certain laser line, and running matrix boxe which as soon as you drop a piece/block the matrix box actually shifts from left to right, pretty trippy.

Multiplayer mode is where it is at. You can play all the single payer modes in the multiplayer option both locally and online. The battle modes are my personal favorite . There is also a co-op mode that allows you to team battle as well, and yes you can do that online. The developers of Tetris took their time to make the online mode as fun as possible because lets face it, there is no feeling like kicking someones ass in Tetris and talking some shit afterwords, thanks EA.

Tetris was developed by the Russians to keep their cosmonauts sharp while in space in the 60′s. Like most things awesome Tetris is now owned by the world. Instead of playing this on an old school tube monitor or on your cell phone get down on some HD action and download this piece of humanity.

A Cute and Most Gross Review of Critter Crunch

Eat or be eaten, exploring new worlds, super cute creatures, vomiting rainbows into your children’s mouth to sustain their hunger, all of these daily struggles can be found in a form of a puzzle game, Critter Crunch.

How in the hell did I end up downloading this? I beat darksiders at 2:45am. Not being able to sleep I hopped onto the PSN, where they were selling the game at a special discounted rate, something like $3.49. This is the best game I have EVER bought under $4, and I am a sucker for puzzle games, especially over the top cute gross themed puzzle games.

You are Biggs. Biggs lives on an island with hyper evolved critters that would make Darwin shit crystals. Talking about crystals, that is what this genre is all about. Basic mechanics are as follows, you feed “critters” to other critters on a tree from which they are descending from. You feed theses “critters” until they pop into crystallized poop, the larger the combo , the larger the crystal pop. The real fun is when you start creating large combos and chains. If you pop 8 or more critters at once “Smalls” your fuzzy little son will come out and you have to fill his mouth with rainbow vomit which you regurgitate, sounds gross but its epically awesome! If even one critter touches the ground its game over.

Unlike other puzzle games they give you a number of modes and scenarios so the game has expanded on the puzzle genre in an intuitive and FUN way. The challenges get really hard, will tease your brain, and when completed you feel like you have accomplished something.

The developer went over the top to make this game super cute and gross at the same time. The animation is sweet, looks like a cartoon, plus the music and the sound effects fit this little puzzle game just right.

Like I stated earlier this game is on the PSN and should be downloaded with the quickness, but Critter Crunch is on the iPhone as well as some other mobile devices. It’s a great game for the whole family and keeps this lazy mind sharp.

Biggs and the rest of the Critter Crunch team can chew on 4 fat RedMeatReview slabs.
