What about mixing Tetris and Columns?  I.e. the tiles used are
Tetris tiles on a Tetris sized board, but removing blocks is
Columns style: not that full lines (like Tetris) vanish, but
3 or more similar patterned blocks (like Columns) vanish.

You might call it Tetrums.  In fact, the first time a friend
of mine saw Columns, he made up the game&name for Tetrums.
Oh, I haven't thought about copyrights and other crap.
