Seit Jahrzehnten schafft es dieses Spiel, Jung und Alt vor die Bildschirme zu locken. Bei vielen dürfte es, dank der Game Boy Version, sogar der Einstieg in die Videospielwelt gewesen sein. Die Rede ist natürlich vom Puzzle-Klassiker Tetris. Unzählige Versionen sind seitdem auf über 50 Plattformen erschienen, und zum 30-jährigen Jubiläum in diesem Jahr wurde nun ein weiterer Ableger angekündigt. So bringen Ubisoft und The Tetris Company das Kultspiel in diesem Jahr auch auf die PS4 und die Xbox One.
