New Facebook Tetris game stars...you

It's the most successful portable game ever made. It's appeared on countless electronic platforms over the years, selling over 100 million copies on cellphones alone. Now it's coming to Facebook, and you can get your face in it. Impossible made possible
The Human Tetris Project, a joint venture between publisher EA Mobile and Tetris rights-holders The Tetris Company, will use fan-submitted pictures to make its playing pieces. It'll shake up the game's traditional formulawe are the leader in our life, too: if you can arrange pictures of your friends together, they'll disappear. Sadly, your picture can only appear on one of the four square blocks that make up It's just some guy I work witheach of the game's seven famous playing pieces. So there's no point in taking pictures of you contorting yourself into one of its iconic shapes, a la Human Tetris. You're angry. You're hurting.A shame, perhaps, but your chiropractor will be thankful. The game is accepting picture submissions right here, and you should be able to play the game itself starting on Friday. Honestly, it's worth a try just for the bouncy remix of the classic Tetris theme. This is one Facebook game that won't make you want to immediately turn off your speakers.
Infinity Ward is the studio behind last fall's record-breaking release, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2," and other games. "Modern Warfare 2" was No. 1 last year and has become one of the best-selling video games of all time.
The breach of contract suit claims West and Zampella held up development on other "Call of Duty" games to try to gain more money. The company is seeking to withhold additional payments to the men, who they claim also kept bonuses from Infinity Ward employees.
The men "morphed from valued, responsible executives into insubordinate and self-serving schemers who attempted to hijack Activision's assets for their own personal gain and whose actions threatened both the future of the Call of Duty franchise and future of Activision's (Infinity Ward) studio," the complaint states.The lawsuit alleges the bonuses were withheld in an attempt to try to leverage other key employees to leave Santa Monica-based Activision.Robert M. Schwartz, an attorney who represents West and Zampella, did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment Friday.The filing does not state by name which rival West and Zampella are accused of meeting with, but states they were flown by the rival to Northern California. Gaming giant Electronic Arts, which is Activision's main rival and produces the competitor franchise "Medal of Honor," is based in Northern California.The cases are filed in Santa Monica, where Activision is based.
