Developer: EA The best version. It has "One Touch" mode (tap 5 to hard drop) and "Fusion" mode (two playfields at once). No bloat, just clean Tetris.

Developer: Com2uS A Korean JRPG. It has a touching story about amnesia (cliché) but a unique "Morph" ability where the hero turns into monsters you have defeated. The soundtrack is orchestral MIDI heaven. Developer: Gameloft The GTA of Java
