Tetris - Tournament and Lottery

by PacoDG

If you have not caught on, I have sort of a fetish for Tetris (seriously).

Well a couple of Tetris related happenings have come crossed my path recently, the first being something I hope to see you all in (then CRUSH YOU!).. a Tetris Splash Tournament being held on Xbox 360. This is the second one to be created and held just by other Tetris lovers on the official Xbox.com forums. User ‘cyno‘ has posted the information in a post here.

The long and short of it is, send him a PM that you would like to be in the tournament by March 12 (tomorrow) at 5:00pm. On the 14th, check the Tetris Splash forums and see the brackets.. easy enough? Well sign up and get to practicing! Want to see the best of the best from the last tournament, check this video below so you know what you are getting yourself into:

The next little piece of Tetris “news” comes in the form of a review. This is not your average Tetris review. It seems the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation has went and made the greatest lottery ticket ever.. a Tetris themed one.

“One of the biggest downfalls of this game is that it can be only played once per card, and once the game is complete you must buy another.”

I cannot do the review justice without quoting the whole post, so I will just let you know that even the sound and graphics of the lottery ticket is part of the review. All around good fun read, check that review at the Electronic Pickle Online.
