Blocks, by Electron Hut www.electronhut.com/games/blocks/ Free
Reviewed April 2002

I believe every Tetris fan should have a game of Tetris on his or her handheld, especially when it's free. The nice folks at Electron Hut have given you a free Tetris game called Blocks. It's pretty much a copy of the arcade Tetris with the ability of listing high scores. One nice thing about Block is that you can turn on the "show shadow" feature which allows you to see where the next piece could fit. This feature makes it easier for novice players. Let's face it; you are not putting your quarters here like in the real arcade. Why not make it nice and helpful?

Ratings (scale of 1 to 5):

Blocks screen shot
Graphics Very sharp graphics. Tiles display clearly.
Sound N/A Nope, you're not going deaf, there's no sound.
Fun Meter You will have a lot of fun playing this game if you are a Tetris fan. Get your friends to download it too so you can compete with high scores.
Addictivity Very addictive. And you don't have to keep feeding quarters or whip out your charge card for this one.
