Wide-eyed, Willis Gibson, 13, covers his face, leans foerward and gasps for air, saying, "Oh my God," over and over again. He's the first person to beat Tetris, the puzzle video game invented by Alexey Pajitnov, a Soviet software engineer, back in 1985. Thanks to a new technique, Gibson made it to the "kill screen" in level 157 - the moment when the screen freezes because the hardware and software have finally reached their limits. Normally, the pace of gameplay is so quick from level 29 onwards that no one manages to get much further than that. Henk Rogers, head of the US-based Tetris Company...

Berlin (dpa) — Somewhere deep in the sea between sandcastles and coral reefs, the hermit crab Krill is facing a big problem. His home, a pink shell, has been taken away by a devious loan shark. Armed with an old plastic fork, Krill is now fighting to get his shell back. As the little crab you beat up nasty enemies and slip into various makeshift houses, be it a child's shoe, a party hat or an old sock. "Another Crab's Treasure" is a little different from other games from the Souls-like genre. Titles such as "Dark Souls" or "Deamon's Souls" are tough: They require precise battles, offer complex...

When you die in a game, you can usually go back to the last place where you saved your progress. When you die in real life, however, all those games are gone. That appears to be the verdict from one of the world's largest marketplaces for video games. "Unfortunately, Steam accounts and games are non-transferable," reads a response from Steam Support published online after a query from a customer. "I regret to inform you that your Steam account cannot be transferred via a will." Steam operator Valve says it's also unable to pass on a late user's login details or to merge accounts.

Berlin (dpa) — "Skul: The Hero Slayer" doesn’t offer the typical hero-versus-bad guy conflict. In this game for PCs and consoles, the usual story is turned on its head. You step into the bony shoes of Skul, a small skeleton who sets out on a heroic mission: to rescue the captured Demon King. But the path to victory is paved with many dangers. The story begins with an ancient peace agreement between humans and demons. Then the humans break their oath, capture the Demon King, and kill all of the non-human beings that stand in their way. It is now up to Skul, a simple soldier of the Demon King, t...
