I realize that we're quite a bit late on the uptake of this one, and I apologize. 

For those of you who don't already know, Tetris Splash will be this week's release!  Take the long loved game and add 6 player online, and what you end up with is a game that's sure to eat up hours and hours of my extremely lacking free time :)

From the Press Release:

One of the most popular electronic games of all time – Tetris – is back and returns with enhanced graphics and beautiful aquatic playscapes in “Tetris Splash.” “Tetris Splash” will be available for download on Xbox LIVE Arcade this Wednesday, October 3, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. GMT (2:00 a.m. PDT).

Since its introduction, Tetris has gone from Russian sensation to worldwide phenomenon, attracting more than 60 million enthusiastic players. Thanks to its unique and simple randomness, it's never the same game twice. “Tetris Splash,” developed by Tetris Online Inc., features multiplayer gameplay over Xbox LIVE for up to six players and two player head to head battles, as well as a virtual fish tank that is customizable through gameplay achievements and add-on content.

I was kind of concerned cuz I had to work early today. I thought you'd hit it first, but Mike suprised me so we beat you to the punch!

On another note, I am extremely excited to play this. This should take me away from Halo 3 for at least a couple minutes.

Well, I'm glad that there is a game coming out this week...

But ugh, it's Tetris. I'm sure some people will enjoy it, though.

I'm not gonna bother, not for 800. I already own several versions of Tetris. And Lumines is much better anyway ;)

I'll wait until the 360
I'll wait until the 360 version of Tetris drops in price. At $39 it's not worth a buy right now.

Eh it is Tetris, but the music made me think it was Tetris: The Lounge Act Edition. It tries to be overly relaxing and just comes off as cheesey and a bit surreal as if you were sent into some sort of time warp back into the early days of midi. The graphics are sharp, but the aquarium mode makes it even more...just odd.

Also the 1350 points (I think that is the total) in atmospheric DLC is making me wonder what aquarium settings are included with the base purchase. With past bad experiences I'll hold off a purchase until I know for sure.

So yeah, apparently while playing the trial - in a single game - I got 4 achievements in one shot. Usually when something like that happens, I'm asked to buy the game. I wonder how much they would have been worth.

I like the music, though.
