iOS Tetris gets a season pass

Since Tetris first came out in the mid-'80s, numerous publishers have attempted to put their own spin on the block-turning puzzle game. Electronic Arts is the latest to bring a new idea to the tried-and-true formula, as the publisher has launched a new iOS edition of the game with a subscription service built in.

The simply titled Tetris App includes the game's Marathon mode, as well as a new one-touch control option, a level-based Galaxy mode that includes power-ups, and a ranking system. For those who want more, EA is offering membership in the T-Club, a subscription program that "gives members access to exclusive discounts and content, premium Tetris Log challenges, and a booster to progress their Tetris Rank faster."

Membership in the T-Club carries a $3 monthly subscription fee, or $30 for a full year. The Tetris App is currently available at an "introductory" price of $1.
