Now, I can’t call myself a very good Tetris player. Actually, I don’t call myself much of a game player at all, but there’s nothing wrong with trying out a game of Tetris every now and then to see how good your reflexes are, and then to get you depressed at how horrible your reflexes are. The downside of Tetris is that it’s hard to find a good game of Tetris out there for OS X that doesn’t cost money. And maybe that’s because the best game of Tetris that doesn’t cost money isn’t Tetris at all.
Meet Quinn. It’s played exactly the same way and with all the same rules as Tetris, but it’s not Tetris, mostly to avoid trademark violation. And now I’ve typed Tetris in this post nine times. I’m probably in trouble. Nevertheless, Quinn is a really nice Tetris-style game application with a really nice user interface. It also includes many additional features, including “Tournament” (for playing with two players at a time), and network play, which allows you to play with any other Quinn user on your Bonjour network. Quinn also includes a number of piece styles and backgrounds, and you can download more. And Quinn has an online highscores database which you can submit your scores to once you lose your game.
Oh, and did I mention Quinn is absolutely FREE???
If you’re looking for a really nice application to play a game of Tetris, either by yourself or with a friend, check out Quinn, and kiss all of your productivity goodbye.
