Okay folks. I've decided to start doing a monthly "Game Showdown" here in the community.

Each month I'll pick a specific game and then everybody will have 7 days to play the game. Whoever has the highest score at the end of the 7 days will get a $25 gift certificate to Amazon.com. Booyah!

So, this month's game is Tetris.

I've removed all the high scores so we can start from scratch.

This showdown will be a bit shorter (since the month is quickly coming to an end).

This showdown will officially end at 11:59PM MST on July 31, 2007.

You need to be registered here in the community to play. And note, making "spam" comments just to raise post count so you can play in the arcade isn't permitted. Seriously.

Game on!

We have a winner! diagonalman has won the Tetris Game Showdown with an amazing score of 305774! Congrats!

Sounds like a very fun idea, makes me wish I had registered here when I first started frequenting TAB.

Well hopefully you'll stick around and not be "that guy" who just registers and never gives back to the community.

I'll give it a shot, although I'm not very good at Tetris! I am a gamer, after all!

Another reason to keep me away from the real world.It's too scary out there. Talking to people, interacting with people, making eye contact with people.
