Today, June the sixth, 2009, marks the 25th anniversary of one of the true “perfect games” of the universe….Tetris!

Tetris is the incomparable puzzle game, and one of the most important and influential games ever created. 25 years later, and Tetris has been re-released, recreated, and re-imagined on virtually every console, handheld and computer ever made, and is the most widely played video game of all time.

Tetris has proven to not only be a landmark in video games, but an immortal icon in pop-culture as well, and even something of cultural significance .

So congratulations to Tetris creator Alexey Pajitnov, for creating a timeless masterpiece in the world of video games that is as successful today as it was 25 years ago.

So why not sit back and play one of the (countless) variations of this classic game, and let it delve its way into your subconscious, haunt you in your dreams (in a good way) and even effect the way you think!

Happy 25 years Tetris.
