I have never been a huge Tetris player, but even I am aware of its addictive qualities. ?Sami loves it, for one, and they even joked about it in an episode of ?Northern Exposure? way back in the 90s when Clinton was President. ?Marilyn Whirlwind tells Joel that, yes, he did agree to let the Shaman Leonard observe him for a week. ?Joel asks when this so-called agreement happened. ??You were playing GameBoy?, she said. ??GameBoy?!! ?I would have agreed to anything when I was playing GameBoy!? ?And I have no doubt that the game he was playing was Tetris. ?Beware what you agree to while playing Tetris, that?s the lesson here. ?(I would have put up a clip, but couldn?t find it on YouTube. ?Oh well!)
Anyway, EA Mobile has launched a new version of Tetris, designed to ensnare a whole new generation of iPhone and iPod Touch gamers (and my generation as well, for that matter). ?You can check it out now, and it?s available on the iTunes app store for a single buck for the iPhone version, and $7.99 for the iPad version.

Doug is a nerd from way back, falling for a Commodore PET at the age of 15, and never looking back. Riding the nerd wave, he got a Computer Science degree and entered the tech industry at a young age, deciding after a year and a half of front-line phone technical support that he should try something, *anything* else. He settled on technical writing, and has been cranking out documentation for companies like Unisys, SGI, Cisco, Juniper, and many others ever since. The fact that he commutes between his family in Austin and his day job in California is something that he is simply trying to live with. (Isabelle the Corgi helps.)
