In honor of the fourth, Sega is bestowing upon all iPhone and iPod Touch owners a free copy of Columns all weekend. That’s great and all, but at the moment it’s nowhere to be found. And it’ll probably just be a “lite” version of the deluxe version. Maybe the weekend hasn’t started. I don’t know. Don’t shoot the messenger.
In honor of July 4, SEGA is offering the spectacular puzzler Columns for free to all iPhone/iPod Touch owners. For the whole July 4th weekend, gamers can grab this gaming gem for free and enjoy addictive puzzle fun! Players return to ancient Phoenicia and behold the jeweled Columns as they strategically align falling gems across, down or diagonally – racing against the clock or taking on the computer for hours of challenging gameplay. Easy to pick up, difficult to master and fiendishly addicting, Columns features Timed, Challenge and Endless modes, as well as three levels of difficulty.
