Game-A-Week Episode 34: One Year Anniversary Special

 Game-A-Week Episode 34: One Year Anniversary Special

[9:59 PM]

It's finally here. That massive Game-A-Week I've been working on is finally done.

[10:00 PM]

I tried to get it out on the day of the one-year anniversary but it actually took me 12 hours to finish it and is now 24 hours late as of this writing.

[10:01 PM]

Regardless, it took me over a month to make this so I hope you enjoy it.

[10:01 PM]

And if you didn't like it. Well, it only cost me my sanity, and I got that for free!

[10:02 PM]

Its a little different than what we usually do here on Game-A-Week so it truly is a special episode.

 Game-A-Week Episode 33: Tetris 99

[11:46 PM]

This is the fourth and final Game-A-Week mini.

[11:47 PM]

After this.... Well, I hope you're as excited for it as I am.

[11:47 PM]

So you know Tetris, right?

[11:47 PM]

But have you ever wanted to KILL someone in Tetris?

[11:47 PM]

Well now you can!

[11:48 PM]

Tetris 99 is a battle royale game where you and 99 other players, play the same game of Tetris. Last man standing wins.

[11:48 PM]

Its just basic Tetris except for one thing.

[11:49 PM]

Every time you clear a line, you send junk blocks to one of the other players. Clear enough lines faster than they can clear their own and you'll straight up MURDER them.

[11:50 PM]

And that's it. That's the game. Its Tetris but with a bloodthirsty twist.

[11:51 PM]

I give Tetris 99 a 99/10. There is no such thing as a perfect game but if there was, it would be Tetris. And now I can KILL people. How can I not love this game?

Completely unrelated, but this is a true masterpiece. I love it so much. If there was any one thing that perfectly captures the essence of my favorite game, its this. It manages to squeeze in all the people we've met and adventures we've had with this series these last 24 years, it makes me feel very emotional. I want everyone to see it. My favorite detail is how, just like in Gen 1, it starts with four boys walking down a set of railroad tracks.
