Tetroid 2012: The Tetris Mash Up That Thinks It's An Experimental Soundtrack

Their are no lack of options when it comes to Tetris freeware clones, but this one, well it has a pair of worthwhile twists, its psychedelic presentation notwithstanding. Tetroid 2012 plays with the formula by adding other familiar block-busting elements, including an inverted play field that turns the mechanic on its head, switching to Arkanoid/Breakout style play. A fantastic concept. Add to that the soundtrack which features a collection of 21 electronic artists and you'd be a fool to pass up the download. More details and download links at Simon's blog.

Arkanoid Tee Specifically For Streetwear, Russian Bear Fans

While I'm a casual fan of block-busting arcade games like Breakout and Arkanoid, I'm a much bigger fan of clothing label Mishka, maker of fine t-shirts. Fellow Kotaku Tower inhabitant Luke Plunkett has more than once suggested that I attempt to seek a sponsored endorsement deal from the company in an attempt to offset the outflow of cash that goes in the Brooklyn-based company's direction. So far, no dice. While the brand generally focuses on things like metal, horror movies and He-Man, it's first video game related tee goes for an Arkanoid vibe. Yes, that Vaus at the bottom, tackling the label's Bear Mop logo... which has exploded in a very un-Arkanoid fashion. For those carrying on to the Mishka web site, keep in mind that it can be NSFW at times, so browser beware.

Arkanoid Bustin' Up Nintendo DS

Frumpy Dowager Beats Arkanoid

Doraemon is a time-traveling cat who comes from the future to help out a fourth grade schoolboy who needs help. In Japan, this tale was apparently worth forty-five individual volumes. In the cartoon series, the voice of the blue robot cat was provide by Nobuyo Oyama. And, man, can she play Arkanoid. High pitched, banshee-like squeal aside, that frumpy middle aged dowager can beat the entire game on a single 100 yen coin. Shows what I know — I didn't even realize Arkanoid had a boss.

The Lady That Voiced Doraemon Pwns Arkanoid

Doraemon is a robotic cat from the future and can pull many wonderful gadgets out of his pocket. The anime is a Japanese institution. Previously, the character's voice actor (Nobuyo Oyama) was known for one thing: Looking like Doraemon. Well, she's also a killer ARKANOID player. She started playing back in 1986 and is able to clear the game using one 100 yen coin. However, she admits that she is only good at ARKANOID. Pretty wild if you are familiar with the cartoon. Though, watching her play ARKANOID while doing the Doraemon voice creeps even us out. Brian Ashcraft
