Some people say that after playing the game for hours they see falling blocks in their dreams or buildings move together in the street – a phenomenon known as the Tetris Effect. Such is its mental pull, there’s even been the suggestion that the game might be able to prevent flashbacks in people with PTSD.” Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Related
