Simply what a puzzle game should be.
The puzzle genre has been dead for some years, its a relic from simpler times. Its a genre that can not compete with action-packed blockbusters that grace our consoles currently. But every now and then taking some time o... Read Full Review

This game has aged slightly worse than Tetris, but not as much as you might think

Packaged as part of the original Sega CD offering, this is perhaps the best of the Tetris knockoffs. This game is so simple, yet gets so frantic and fast-paced that you have fun without even trying. Head-to-head play was... Read Full Review
