Google Celebrates Tetris Birthday
June 5th, 2009 by Sean R.
So I was just about to search for something on Google and noticed that the search engine changed its logo — to a Tetris theme!
Why? To celebrate the iconic videogame’s birthday. It was 25 years ago today (well tomorrow June 6) that Alexey Pajitnov created Tetris.
Over the past 25 years Tetris has sold over 70 million copies, and we named it the #1 game of all time in our Top 100 Games of All Time feature in EGM.
So happy birthday, Tetris. I really hope Alexey is out celebrating right now. Be sure to join the party and play a few round of Tetris in our game room.

Sega Genesis: Cool Spot
March 9th, 2009 by Sean R.
Cool Spot for the Sega Genesis stars the “red dot” with sunglasses who was formerly the 7-Up mascot.
Despite being essentially an interactive soft drink commercial, this game is irresistibly fun.
Each stage challenges you to collect suspended red dots while avoiding or shooting marine creatures and bugs.
Spot walks slowly but can leap a great distance, and I love his ability to shoot bubbles rapid-fire in all directions. Read the rest of this entry…
Mario vs Spartan 2
March 6th, 2009 by Sean R.
Doing some YouTube surfing today, I came across a pretty cool video of the epic battle of 2D vs 3D in Mario vs Spartan 2.
Yes I know this video is 9+ minutes long, but it’s totally worth a few, if only to see a couple of Mushroom People get whacked around 5:15 into the video.

2600 Online is a website that features over 50+ classic Atari 2600 games that you can play online for free:
The site is getting a ton of traffic, so you might have to try a couple of times before you can actually get on and play. I’m sure traffic will die down soon.
