Tetris DS (Nintendo DS, 2006)

This is just the old classic game, revisited. most of the tetris sequels have just been bad or seriously dated (check out Tetris 2- its like an all encompassing time capsule from the early 90's) but this one has no silly gimmicks, bad music or stupid background story. its just sets of bricks falling down, which is exactly what makes Tetris awesome.

plus you get to pick your own music, which includes new songs and the classic tetris songs, as well as other well-remembered SNES game theme songs. the levels have cute little themes, which don't interfere with game play, there's just little pixelated marios and links in the background, again appealing to those of us who remember the original tetris. definitely a must for any DS owner.
