Did you know they’re making a Tetris movie? I shit you not. This is a thing that’s happening, because we have displeased the gods and they are smiting us in their righteous fury. I can’t really say I blame them. How the hell you take a reflex-based puzzler and turn it into a feature film… well, you can’t. I feel sorry for whatever wretched cinematic abortion will bear Tetris’s name, because the game deserves better than that. There’s something to be said for a simple concept executed flawlessly, which is basically what Tetris is. I won’t sit here and pretend there’s a whole lot of nuance and depth to be delved into when discussing this game, at least not when it comes to the mechanics. The puzzle pieces drop from the top of the screen, you slot them in, and as you progress through the levels the speed increases. The end. It’s better than it sounds, I swear.
