Honestly I think the main problem with all the latest Tetris games is the switch from Russian classical music to new age techno. I would dearly love to see a new Tetris game with as many Russian classics as possible, including the original 5 from the GB and NES games (that's right, 5, the NES had two exclusive tracks, the GB had two exclusive tracks, and the middle song in both versions was the same).
What you are thinking of MAY be a game I played on the PC a long time ago called "Welltris" or something like that. Yeah, that one just had 4 walls you looked down on. Not that good. Tetrisphere is different from that though. You have a huge ball and shapes fall on it. Well, actually you drop them on it and after a certain amount of time it autodrops. Anyway you can rotate all around it to drop them, and it's a few layers thick. Generally the goal is to break away enough of the layers to reveal a certain size area of the core. It was actually pretty fun, and about the only 3D Tetris I thought was all that good. I still prefer the original myself mind you, but this wasn't that bad.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
