Tetris is very innovative puzzle game that involves making lines with falling pieces. It was designed and programed by Alexey Pajitnov in Moscow, Russia. That also explains the crazy Russian music. But why did it become such a groundbreaking game?

That is because Nintendo and Tengen (Atari) were fighting for the rights to it. That was settled in that Nintendo got rights to console and handheld systems. Tengen got rights to Arcade Systems. Tetris was also the first original Gameboy game. So the phenomenon of Tetris were spreading like wildfire.

Nintendo kept putting out Tetris titles for their future systems which spread the legacy to the next generation of gamers. Today though since the Original Tetris and Nintendo became rarer to find it was looked for more online.

It is not difficult to find online but some websites follow the traditional Tetris ideas and themes better. On a rare occurrence you might be able to find a copy of Tengen Tetris which is the rarest Nintendo game ever created. That is due to copyright infringement with Nintendo's rights.

The game itself was popular because of the falling pieces to different handicaps and speeds. Also in some versions of Tetris the ability to play multi-player. The game was challenging to everyone regardless of age. The theme of the game gets repetitive after awhile so you can not play days on end. Besides that the game is overall a groundbreaking game in video game history.

So the reason to play Tetris can be summed up simply. It was the first truly groundbreaking puzzle game for the original Nintendo NES, Gameboy, and Tengen Arcade Machines.

Nintendo's Wii Fit sounds like some kind of dream machine - a games console that is fun to play but helps you lose weight too?

It all seems too good to be true.

However with Christmas fast approaching and with some of the hype having died down the question remains does the Wii Fit actually help you lose weight?

One lady who wishes to remain anonymous has created the splendidly named "Diary of a fat woman" blog; it charts her progress as she embarks on a "Wii Fit Diet", a diet which consists of well balanced meals alongside a 60 minute workout provided by the console.

Her latest entry puts her weight at 225lbs which considering her weight on day one was a cuddly 238.8 represents a drop of 13lbs between June 9th and July 20th.

So far, so good.

But it's not just the girls who are deciding to get physical with the Wii; the blokes are more than happy to step up to the plate too.

Philadelphian Mickey DeLoronzo gained notoriety when he decided that at 191lbs he was carrying a little "extra baggage" and made it his mission to put the NintendoWii Fit to the test.

After 45 days he was down to an impressive 176lbs (that's an incredible 15lbs loss!) and whilst he concedes that any 60 minutes of additional movement per day over a prolonged period of time would result in some weight loss, he feels that Wii Fit made it much less painless.

In short, Nintendo's Wii Fit seem to have created a superior fitness game which actually delivers results, but ultimately you'll only get out of it what you put in to it and your will-power is as much a part of any success as the graphics, the interface and the balance board.
