Take a look at not Tetris 2[1]. From its description:

Not Tetris 2 is the spiritual successor of the classic Tetris mixed with physics. The result is a fun spinoff in which blocks are no longer bound to the usual grid. Blocks can be rotated and placed at any angle, resulting in a complete mess if not careful. And with the newest cutting edge technology, Not tetris 2 allows line clears when the lines are sufficiently filled.

Darn, I was hoping for a perspective from the block itself looking down on the already placed blocks. Second-person tetris then? [on a side note, I really need to learn how to game the front page. 2 year old, minute twist on 30 year old game -> front page. write a new game from scratch -> dustbin]

Is something like this what you were looking for? http://www.3dtris.de/

Neat. I would have taken the plain game but with a different perspective, but that's pretty mind boggling right there.

Yea, what tsm posted is a flash clone of that game.

I've played this one too much. Very fun.

This is so much more challenging than regular tetris!

I was so looking forward to a Doom/Tetris mashup. Disappointed.

Reminds us that Flash isn't dead.

Ah, that's why all I saw was a black page. They don't even bother to do notification of errors these days.

Another fun (for some value of fun) variant is Hell Tetris[0] based on xkcd[1]. 0 - http://www.kongregate.com/games/banthar/hell-tetris 1 - http://xkcd.com/724/

Perhaps more interesting is Hatetris http://qntm.org/files/hatetris/hatetris.html which is programmed to always give you the worst possible piece. Just try to clear a line!
