Well, that's certainly interesting. We had people claiming it's superiority to the original Sonic the Hedgehog but not only does it rank lower, it fails to crack the top 10 and finds itself in another three-way tie with its average score of a solid 4.0. I blame Q-Anon.

Well, that's behind us and now we inch our way closer to the 50th title. Let's do this:

So, yeah, the game to rate this week is...Tetris. Yeah...just...plain old...Tetris... Well, I guess puzzle games need some sort of representation here. What say you, the good people of TPWW? How does it rate with you? We're down to the final 9! Until next time...
