As of 2008, Tetris holds the achievement of the most ported video game in history. Which makes sense. Virtually any electronic device can run Tetris. That's the beauty of its design: difficult to master, but arguably the most accessible controls and objectives ever.  Doom, however, is hot on Tetris's heels. You can play Doom on virtually any personal computing operating system, most consoles, and lots of handhelds. You can even run the game on a piano. Can you play Tetris on a piano?

Call of Duty: Warzone brings battle royale to the latest generation of Call of Duty, and it fixes problems of the genre along the way, but not without introducing its own. Our review. The Call of Duty: Warzone map of Verdansk lays outstretched before me. The ring is ahead and I’ve got my loadout and armor from scavenging and a couple well-engaged gunfights.
