The PlayStation Portable has been on the market in some form or another for nearly five years now -- the fact that there isn't a Tetris game available on the platform is mind-boggling. Seriously, our grandmother has Tetris on her portable defibrillator. How is it not on our half-decade-old handheld gaming device?
Electronic Arts apparently asked themselves this question, then immediately sprung into action to port the popular puzzler to PSP. At least, that seems to be the case, as evidenced by a recent Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle (that name is too beautiful to truncate!) listing for an EA-developed PSP version of Tetris. We've contacted EA to see if Lumines' tyrannical reign over the handheld's puzzle genre really is drawing to a close.

Oh man... isn't that the "safeword" from the movie Eurotrip??
I hope it's on UMD as well as the PSN.

About time. I hope they plan on having a PS3 version.

Peggle is also mysteriously missing from the PSP platform. :-)

It's nice I guess for the people that like it. I on the other hand always found tetris to be boring, more boring than Desert Bus.

The PS3 is three years old, and still Tetris-less. Why we don't have a PSN Tetris is mind-boggling.
Speaking of Lumines, and needing PSN versions of things, though I'm happy we finally got Supernova, why isn't Q Entertainment doing more for the PSN? I'd kill for EITHER Rez HD or E4. Completely unrelated, but still, at least I got that off my chest now. :)

Lumines > Tetris, that's why we haven't needed or gotten Tetris on the PSP yet. I have my iPod if i really want to play tetris.
