Sega giving away Columns on iPhone for free all this weekend

Filed under: Gaming , Odds and ends , Freeware , iPhone , App Store , iPod touch Normally we’d just send out a tweet about this (that’s usually what we do with free app deals, so if you’re not one of the almost 40,000 people following us yet, you definitely should be), but this is a good one, and it’s a holiday, so we wanted to make sure you knew. Sega is feeling particularly generous this weekend, so they’re giving away free copies of their Columns Deluxe , a port of the old Genesis game , for the iPhone. The game is a pretty straightforward port — it doesn’t have any extras, and the accelerometer controls are a little tacked on from what we hear, but if you like the puzzler gameplay of Columns , and you should, it’s a fun one to pull up for a few minutes at a time. Plus, it’s free — from July 3rd to Monday, July 6th, Sega says it’ll be on sale for the low price of nothing at all. Sounds good to us — sit back, put a few brats and burgers on the grill, grab a Corona (and lime, of course), and enjoy some old-school dropping block gameplay for no money at all.
