HD Tetris does the impossible
by Sam Naylor on March 11, 2009 at 9:13 am
It sucks the fun out of Tetris. Called “Tetoris“, this version of the classic puzzle renders it mind-numbing and completely dull. In a game where it takes 30 seconds for one block to get to the bottom, good luck completing only one row. It’s faster to build a tower up and fail than it is to get any points. And of course, because it’s so dull and rubbish, it is awesome. I challenge all Riptenites to complete just one row. If you manage it, you might want to think about how much free time you have.

Geeked-Out: Tetris Ice Cube Trays
by Chad Lakkis on July 9, 2008 at 5:11 pm
The Tetris shaped ice cube trays shown above (dubbed “icetris”) are the handy work of Dima Komissarov, a member of the Russian design studio Mystake. Unfortunately, the neon colored trays are not available for retro refreshment in the states just yet, and there is no word as to when that will change.
Kudos to the design team — the only thing left for them to create now is a giant rectangular glass big enough to hold a games worth of ice.

Forget Tomb Raider and Hitman. We need a game that has as wide of a fan base as the sci-fi summer blockbuster it will be turned into.
