I just received Tetris Tower 3D in the mail from Firebox.

The game plays a bit like Connect Four meets Tetris. It's evil, but I kinda like it. The object of the game is to try and get a solid line across to score a point. The game both tells you which piece you need to drop and how much time you have left.

The thing that makes it evil is that you quickly shift from trying to make solid lines to totally screwing over your opponent after you get in the lead. That and you can't tuck falling pieces under overhangs, which really messes with your mind if you're a long-time Tetris player.

I probably would buy something like this just for the kitsch, value so the fun gameplay is an added bonus. My only complaints are that the game doesn't have an off switch or a way to crank up the volume. Oh, and $50 seems a bit excessive.

Check out the video on the jump to see the game in action. Yes, I totally pwned my 5-year-old son. Brian Crecente
