Using torque for classic/retro games like tetris...

Hi, I'm quite new to game development. I was wondering does it make sense to even think about using torque to implement some simpler, classic games like tetris, breakout, pacman, etc (may be with some 3-d flavor, if needed)?

I know this engine is an overkill for these type of games but still, i figure, that could be a useful learning experience...
