Forget about those candies, Tetris is back!

Yup, Tetris is back and better! It is now called Tetris Blitz and the gameplay is looking familiar but making you play differently at the same time!



You still have to fill in the gaps from the falling shapes, but instead of using the arrow keys like you did on the black and white old school console, you can now tap the shape to make it go exactly where you want. Yup, in a way, this has made the game easier, but wait... now you need to finish the game in 2 minutes! YES! You can't take your own sweet time to complete a game anymore! Kan cheong sia!



However there is one new Blitz introduced to the Tetris. You can now use Power-ups to help you in the game, much like how you used them in the Bejeweled Blitz. They'll appear in the game as usual shapes but if you clear any line that contains a Power-up, you get assistance like getting rid of 3 lines (Laser), shifting everything to the left (Magnet) or even add some little tiny bit of extra time (Time Shift).



And then they also have the Finishers to help you get even more bonus points at the end of a game. But these Finishers are not cheap hor! So either you empty your coins to get them, or get them for free if you're lucky in the Spins. VERY lucky.



Mind you, this time they didn't relaunch this new Tetris Blitz for you to fill the waiting time in your life, like waiting for that where-the-hell-is-it bus or doing your number two. They want you to keep playing and they want you to be competitive. That's why there is a leadership board for you to compete with your friends on Facebook! Har! But even if that stupid Ah Seng is leading today, don't despair as there is always a tomorrow! Really! The leadership board is cleared and back to zero after a week, so you might win Ah Seng next week! Ganbatte!

Want to improve English? Just play Scrabble lah!

No. You can't use any of those Singlish words in the Scrabble. At least not until someone created a new Singlish edition for Scrabble.

SCRABBLE Free is now free for download on iPad, iPhone and Android phones. Once downloaded, you can choose to create an EA Origin account or simply use your Facebook account to pester your friends to play with you. Which makes it more fun than playing with the computer, because you can always choose to play with your weaker friends to make yourself feel good. But that also means you can't continue with the game until your friend is done with his/her turn. So during these time, the only thing you can do is to Skype/Whatsapp/Line Chat/sms/call them/go to their house to wake up them up. Ok lah, there is still one way to speed up the game lah. Like everything else in life like budget airlines, you can always pay to upgrade. So yes, you can pay to upgrade to Single Player mode to play with computer, and also to get rid of all those ads.



There is this feature called "Teacher" that is quite interesting. The Teacher will slap you to tell you how you should have scored more points. For example, after I've happily put "GOD" and ended my turn, pressing the "Teacher" icon will have the Teacher mocking me "Ahdoy! Why you didn't put 'Audit' to get 32 points instead? See! Never study hard lah! English so bad!".



There is also a Dictionary in the game that helps you to check your spelling. No. Unlike your Primary school teacher, it doesn't tell you the meaning of the words. It only tells you whether the words exist or not. But still, it can be quite helpful.

So go download your free copy now and do your part for the "Speak Good English" movement!
