As Collector's Editions dominate the hidden object genre, players have come to expect every game to have a host of extras. But whatever happened to making a good basic game? Although sloppy here and there, Shadows: Price for our Sins, the spooky new adventure by 8 Floor Games, reminds us of the days when developers didn't pad their products (and their price tags) with pointless extras and focused instead on making great games.
Do you know how to play Tetris? Talk about a silly question, one that's possibly more absurd than "Do you know how to breathe?" Everyone has played Tetris, including your grandmother, your father, your hamster, and those aliens that invade your bedroom every night and put you in suspended animation just so they can go a few rounds on your old Game Boy cart. After so many ports and revamps, is there anything else that can be done with gaming's favorite falling blocks? EA hopes so; it's turning up the intensity with Tetris Blitz for iOS and Android.
