A new Tetris mobile game is coming to iOS and Android devices, bringing the world’s most popular video game of all-time to players on the go.
The game is launching in a basic mode, letting players get in on one mode and five different skins. The game is playable with swipe controls and haptic feedback and will be expanded more in the future. The game is developed by N3twork, and they say that an online leaderboard for the game will also be launched in the near future.
Speaking about the game N3twork’s CEO Neil Young noted: “We’re launching Tetris with a traditional solo gameplay mode, but we want fans to know that we’ve got so much more in store for them. This is just the foundation of an incredible Tetris app experience we’re building at N3twork.”
The launch comes after EA’s Tetris Blitz and Tetris 2011 mobile games were pulled from the mobile app stores from Apple

While Google is flubbing the launch of its Stadia game streaming service, a surprising competitor may be ready to jump into the fray, with Amazon reportedly set to launch a service next year.
The company is reportedly set to announce the service sometime early next year, and it’s believed that it would be ready in time to compete with the launch of both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Scarlett. Details on just what the product would entail aren’t known yet, but it’s likely that the service would include integration with Twitch, whom Amazon owns. Twitch is the dominant streaming platform for games, easily eclipsing Microsoft’s Mixer and YouTube in terms of viewers.
Amazon has a solid backbone for internet services, as their web servers power a good chunk of the internet’s traffic. Because of this, it’s likely that Amazon wouldn’t run into issues deploying the game to large numbers of players at the same time.
Whether there’s a service that resembles something like GamePass, or

Google’s Stadia Controller has launched along with the service, and we thought we’d share our thoughts on the device shortly after it went live.
We got our hands on the Stadia Controller earlier this week and found the design to be nice. It almost feels like the Xbox One Controller and the DualShock 4 had a baby when you first cradle it in your hands. It mixes the heft of the XB1 with the parallel analog sticks of the DS4.
I found the buttons to be a bit of a disappointment, as the flatter style buttons just don’t feel “as nice” as the two big boys. Battery life is decent, although nothing nearly as good as we see with the Switch Pro Controller or Xbox One with traditional batteries. I got eight hours on mine, which is maybe a shade longer than the DualShock 4.
The controller does work well with a phone mount, which is what you’ll need if you want to play Stadia on your smartphone. I used it with my Pixel and found that the experience was among the best I had with the

Today online search giant Google held their second Stadia Connect Livestream, showing off a slate of new games that are being launched for the streaming service once it launches.
The big announcement during the stream was that CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 is coming to Stadia at launch, allowing players to stream the game at 4K 60 FPS without any native hardware on the consumer side. All a user will need to play the game is a Chromecast or Chrome web browser, a game controller, a solid internet connection, and to have purchased the game through the Stadia service.
Other games announced include the puzzle game Kine, Orcs Must Die! 3, Windjammers 2, Destroy All Humans, Mortal Kombat 11, Farming Simulator 19, and more. Although the showing was a bit light compared to the inaugural stream, it is good to see that Google is committing to releasing new games.
Stadia is set to launch in November and will include a Founder’s Edition that

Google’s foray into the video game industry is coming in November, as the search giant announced its Stadia service will open to pre-order customers at that time.
Stadia will be a streaming-focused platform, seeing you using a compatible device to play without a console or PC. Instead, the processing is done at one of Google’s server farms, allowing for play of up to 4K 60 FPS. The service will be priced at $9.99 per month for 4K quality and will require a high-speed connection speed of at least 35 meg to get that quality.
Google announced a Stadia Founder’s Edition, which will be available for $129. The package will include a controller, a Chromecast Ultra, as well as three months of service for you, and three months to share with a friend. If you want to play this year, you’ll have to drop the coin for the Founder’s service, as wider play will be available sometime in 2020.
Players will have the option to buy games through Google, and those purchases don’t require

Over the past year, Twitch has transformed from a niche video game streaming community to a huge platform that hosts hundred's of thousands of viewers worldwide. Twitch now takes up a huge portion of the world’s internet traffic, and it's certainly turned a few heads.
Some of those heads are the owners of big internet companies like Facebook and Google, and these companies are renowned for spending big on other businesses to buy out their own competition.
It was inevitable really, but rumors suggest that YouTube is planning to acquire Twitch for a massive $1 billion, all in cash. For the small home-grown Twitch team, this is an offer that's going to be hard to turn down, so it's very likely that the internet's favorite video game streaming service will soon be handed over to YouTube.
