Handheld Motion Sensing 360 Tetris Game

Handheld Motion Tetris


With the Motion Sensing 360 Tetris Game you manipulate Tetris blocks by tilting the handheld console. The game is sold here at Hammacher Schlemmer for $29.95. This sounds like it would be more difficult than using a joystick or keyboard. Here's the product description.
This is the only four-sided Tetris game that reacts to your hand movements. Invented 25 years ago by a Russian mathematician, Tetris requires players to clear the relentlessly advancing blocks ("Tetriminos" in game parlance) by arranging them across a full line. But rather than pressing keys, you alter a Tetrimino's direction by simply tilting or turning the handheld console, allowing blocks to be dropped on any side of the 2" x 2 1/2" monochrome LCD grid. Tetriminos may also be rotated with the push of a button. Three game modes and 15 levels provide hours of fiendishly addictive play. For one player. Includes two AAA batteries. Ages 8 and up.

Tetris Tiles For Your Bathroom Floor

Tetris TilesThere are some Tetris inspired tiles available for your kitchen and bathrooms called Tetris Tiles. Don't worry you can get them in a different colors than this. And with a box of Tetris Tiles you can create your own mosaic says Boing Boing.
I have hope for these Tetris shaped bathroom tiles though. Oh, sure, their "Mosaic" offering — a sheet of Tetris tiles already laid out in what is purported to be a polygonally pure Tetris pattern — is in fact a shameless cheat, the edges sullied by one- and two-celled space-filling abominations. But with a box of the base pieces, I don't need to rely on some designer's muffed polygon stacking skills: my 959-line Tetris personal best attests to my ability to find some configuration that would make Saint Pajitnov proud... right before my entire bathroom wall collapsed in on itself with a triumphant chiptune tromp.
There sure are a lot of Tetris products out there.

Statetris: Tetris With States as Blocks

StatetrisStatetris is an online game that mixes aspects of the popular game Tetris with local U.S. geography. Instead of positioning the typical Tetris blocks, you position states/countries at their proper location. Statetris is a pretty tough game (at least on the hard level) even if you know all your states -- the state blocks are tough to lineup correctly. This could be a good teaching tool for a young student trying to learn his or her 50 states. It is also a worthy time waster for everyone else. Statetris games for other contintents and countries are also available. You really need to know your African geography to succeed at this version of Statetris.
