The original Tetris dates back to the Cold War. That means the franchise is practically a hundred in video game years.

There is not one specific thing you could point to in Diggin' Dogs that was out and out bad. The mechanics work flawlessly, the game is easy to understand, and there is plenty of content for the admission price.
