I am an avid Tetris fan, and am quite pleased with my purchase of Blockout.
I have not seen or heard of Welltris until this posting, but Blockout is a
3D Tetris game in which the 3D blocks fall down a well.  You can choose
from several "block sets."  There's flat set, basic set, and extended set.
The basic set (the most fun IMHO) consists of the shapes that made up the
Soma Cube.  You can also change the dimensions of the well.  I'd like to 
know the differences between the two games especially after comparing
Ninetendo Tetris and Tengen Tetris (both for Ninetendo).  Tengen is by far
a MUCH better version.
Thanks.
