An Amazingly Addictive Browser-Based Game [1]

If you always thought that Tetris was a great game, but that it sometimes managed to get too fast and frantic, check out a superb new game called Hex FRVR. No, I don't know what the FRVR stands for either. Presumably "Forever".

The game is reminiscent of Tetris, in that you have to slot combinations of coloured blocks into a board, and if you manage to fill a whole line then that line disappears. However, Hex has some neat variations. The board is hexagonal. The pieces don't drop by gravity - instead you drag and drop them at your own pace, so you can plan your gameplay without being rushed. And there are loads more variations too, which make this altogether a completely novel game.

Give it a try. Just point your browser at http://hex.frvr.com/ [3] and start playing. It's free, too.
