Utada's 30 Person Tetris Fist Fight: The Video

Regardless, Nintendo has posted the video of her recent 30 person battle. Watch as Hikky is defeated by grown-ups! Watch as she finally kicks the crap out of children! Yes, she beat children!! More »

Utada "Queen of Tetris" Hikaru Is Defeated!
She came, she saw, she gamed. Japanese pop mega star Utada Hikaru took on challengers at a Club Nintendo sponsored Tetris DS event. Said Hikky, "I first played when I was five years-old and every day since then." She's racked up a whopping 99,999,999 on the game's current DS incarnation to prove it. Nutshell: She's a big Tetris nerd and even wore glasses during the tourney, because, says Hikky, "It is serious." Thirty contestants were pitted against the singer, one-by-one, and there was six minute time limit for each battle. The first challenger defeated the singer in 56 seconds. Likewise, Utada is defeated by a female challenger in the second round. Next contest was a small child, who Utada schooled and slaughtered. Her final tally? 26 wins and 4 defeats. Impressive. That's the thing about Japan, there's always someone's who is a bigger geek than you. More »

What Are You Playing This Weekend?
The beautiful Irish weather continues unabated even as I seethe. Instead of sitting in my basement, mastering my Dead Rising zombie disembowelments, decapitations, defenestrations, gelatinations, I'm forced to go outside and stroll in the sun, muttering obscenities under my breath. I resent every second in the sun, every molecule of darkened melanin bronzing my godlike skin. More »

Help Me Get Korobieniki Back in my Tetris
Tetris has only one song for me: Korobieniki. You might know it as Type B from the original Game Boy cart: it's a traditional Russian folk song. You might also know Ozma's absolutely amazing cover of the song on their album, Doubble Donkey Disc. For me, a game just ain't Tetris unless Korobieniki's playing in the background. More »

Best Buy Advises Extended Warranty for Tetris DS
Somehow, our canny brothers over at the Consumerist took time out from insulting all gamers everywhere to hack into Kotaku's email account and steal an email meant for us! We'll let them have it: they need the content. Although our kotaku.com email password is definitely being changed... Crecente's measurements were obviously too easy to guess. More »

Utada Hikaru: Big Tetris Dork
Previously, we posted that Japanese pop princess Utada Hikaru was damn good at Tetris. We were wrong. Hikki is a Tetris freak. She's posted her DS Tetris record score, which clocks in at a whopping 99,999,999. And that was after 16 or 17 hours of play—the same length of time it takes to finish an RPG. She writes: More »
