  The rest of the world calls them casual games.

  Try to find a tetris game for the iPhone or the Android. I won't hold
my breath.

  (Explanation: There's a copyright troll named "The Tetris Company" based
in Russia which sends frivolous copyright claims to Apple and most other
game providers for any user-created tetris clone. Mind you, the concept of
a game does not fall under copyright, see for example
http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl108.pdf, but that doesn't stop this so-called
"company" from making the claim anyways. And Apple and other providers won't
challenge it because it's not their product, but remove the game
automatically without questions.)
