"According to the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA), Tetris has led as the most popular game for the past year.

In 1985, Alexey Pazhitnov from Moscow created Tetris... and the rest is history. The tenacity of this game, the strength with which it holds on to "the most popular" monicker, is impressive. It's simple and yet incredibly complex and it is a wonderful brain teaser. Tetris rules again, now in a wireless world (phones are perfect for something this simple and entertaining). heheh go Russians!
