Tetris party brings you back to that classic time of the Gameboy. Its green/black scale with wonderful music swept the nation as well as our hearts. Well Tetris is back and this time it is going full force on WiiWare. But with the Wii having such a small space to put your downloadable titles on, it's time to clear off some space to make sure this gem fits. You won't regret it. Tetris Party brings all the things you would want out of a Tetris game to the Wii with some nice added modes.
Today Autumn of Arcade has officially reached its halfway point. What is AofA? Glad you asked. In case you haven't heard, its GamePro Arcade's way to give back to the gaming community. We're like the Pinehearst Company in Heroes, except we don't want to take away your powers, we give you power - the power to buy crap you didn't even know you wanted.
Last week we gave away three 1600MS points cards. This week its three 2000 Wii point cards. How do you win? Just tell us what you'd do with your new GamePro Arcade given abilities. Are you going to go Mohinder Suresh and get drunk with power? Or are you more like Hiro Nakamura, thoughtful, well wishing and one part of the C3PO/R2D2-like duo of Hiro and Ando? Either way, let us know us.
You have until Saturday night to put up your comment. Winners will be announced late Sunday. Good luck!

The third episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, "Baddest of the Bands", will be released later this month. While waiting to see Strong Bad skip across the stage like Angus Young, check out the teaser trailer for the lastest installment of this excellent series.
Puzzle games seem to be all the rage right now. You have titles like Puzzle quest and Planet Puzzle League which you can play on your DS. But for the Wii you were kind of left in the dust. The guys over at Empty Clip Studios have your back. Taking a page from the Lumines franchise, Groovin Blocks utilizes blocks with three different colors to which you can move about and work in different ways. Then when you get three of the same color in a row then it goes away and gives points. As an added bonus if you time it to work with the music you get an added bonus on top of that.
...if you're a Wii or PS3 gamer. Today Capcom confirmed the release dates for the highly anticipated Mega Man 9. Wii owners can download the game on Monday and PS3 owners Thursday. If you own an Xbox 360 you have to wait until October 1.
Rumor has it that gamers will actually be able to buy a Mega Man 9 box set that was originally only sent to the press for promotion. This hasn't been completely confirmed but from what I've seen, the retro looking box would be pretty cool to own.
The first episode of "Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People" is out and recently GamePro had a brief conversation with Homestar Runner writer, animator and voice actor Matt Chapman.
GP: What about point and click games do you think makes them more conducive to humor?
Matt Chapman: I think inventory puzzles and especially dialog puzzles have way more opportunities for humor than, say, a kart game or a platformer or a FPS. Most games can only squeeze the funny in through cutscenes or the humor is just dressing over some other kind of game. But it's easier to make jokes when pretty much every thing or person you click on yields some kind of response. In a FPS there can just be funny billboards in the background.
Its difficult to type while wearing boxing gloves but somehow Strong Bad, the most popular character on the Flash animated internet cartoon Homestar Runner, does it with flair. Fans of the site typically only get to be viewers of HR's unique brand of humor but now, with today's PC and Wii release of the first episode of "Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People", they finally get to be active participants. Does Homestar Runner's transition from web cartoon to video game work? Let's put it this way, after playing this title you'll be lining up to the right to personally give the lucha libre mask wearer some high fives.
And its about frickin' time - Starting Monday the 11th gamers can finally get their hands on the first episode of "Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People". The first of five monthly episodes, Homestar Ruiner, will be available on the Wii and PC.
If you're not familiar with the series, you owe it to yourself to head to Homestar Runner immediately. Snuggle up and get acquainted, you won't be sorry. Look for the review Monday.
In the meantime, check out the details on Monday's release.
Are you sick of BUZZ? Want something else to play with the family and friends? Like Disney? Well guess what, Disney Interactive Studios has got you covered. Get ready to make enemies as you and your pals battle it out to see who holds the crown in the knowledge of Disney titles. This will make for a fun party game much like the various Scene It! games were in the past year or so. So dont be suprised to see this hit the big consoles in the future, I have a feeling that this is just step one in the plan to make party style games the next craze.
