are there any 'tetris/columns/yoshi cookie' type games for XBox 360?

If ever one of those games came out on disc for the 360 it would probably be cheaper to buy a nes and the original game.

Meteos 360...

Tetris Splash Just came out on XBL Arcade.

Or you can buy the actual Tetris game for $29.99 at your local circuit city, best buy, etc.

Dunno about the others, my parents just bought tetris to play it on my 360. They love it

tetris splash is awful. it shows you exactly where the pieces are going to fit at the bottom of the screen, removing an element of the original tetris' gameplay (having to figure that out for yourself).

and every time you make a line disappear there's this annoying voice, this chick whispers "single" "double" "triple" "tetris" like it's supposed to be sexy or something? there's nothing sexy about tetris... i don't want to hear a whispering voice repeat the same 4 words over and over while i play a game. obnoxious.

That part was funny, it needs some exclamation marks.

But to respectfully disagree I like hearing the word 'Tetris' in the female voice; It makes me feel good {not sexy, just good}, that being said I haven't bought it yet so I haven't played it longer then the 5 minute trial.

Just check for future games on XBL arcade. That will be your best bet for finding puzzle games in the future. Not really a big market for them in retail.

Yes there is idiot.

Hexic HD is good and "free" on HD equipped systems.

Pick up Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged Vol 1. off of Ebay. Picked up a copy myself for $3 ($8 shipped). It has Bejeweled 2 and 5 other games. Not worth $39.99 or $29.99, but well worth under $10.

I second the arcade disc, a great deal {I need to get mine back from a friend}.

Also Protometal, give up on the Bejeweled achievements {I apologize if it wasn't you playing Bejeweled on my friends list, somebody was} there impossible. Me and the wife tried to marathon the regular play and beat all 80 levels...My system red lighted by the time we got to level 76...I was pissed...Just sharing a story. That evil bejeweled.

Yea, it was me. And yes, they are nearly impossible. I might still play it, but not for the purposes of getting the achievements. They should be challenging to some degree, but not THAT challenging, especially for a "casual" game.
