The classic card game manages to be one of the most enjoyable titles on Xbox Live Arcade.
At the launch of the Xbox 360, the new Xbox Live Arcade service was introduced but there wasn’t a lot to be excited about. Oh sure, ports of Smash TV, Bejeweled 2, and Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved is fine but there was nothing of real substance in the XBLA launch lineup. Fast forward to May of 2006 and a digital version of the card game UNO is released. In less than a year’s time, it becomes the first XBLA title to surpass one million downloads. How is it that a title like this has become so successful? UNO succeeds because of the simplicity of the rules and the simple controls.

The Sony PlayStation Vita hasn’t even been released in its home country of Japan, yet it already has clones popping up in China. The Yinlips YDPG18 is the latest in a long line Sony handheld knockoffs to be produced in China. The device is powered by Android and sports a 5-inch touchscreen display with a 800 x 480 resolution (which differs greatly from the Vita’s 5-inch OLED 960 x 544 display), a single analog nub, front and back cameras and is notably missing some version of the Vita’s rear touch panel.

Gaming News For The Week of Tuesday, December 13, 2011
Once upon a time, one of the toughest games got its rightful sequel. It’s now.
Out of all the 3DS titles released this year, Shinobi is the most likely to become a hard-to-find cult classic. Even with all of its faults, hardcore fans will find more than enough content to feel fulfilled. The developers at Griptonite have reinvigorated a dormant series that has stayed true to its roots as an unforgiving, relentless, combat-based platformer.
The Last of Us team has been hard at work for over two years.
Usually when a studio decides to reveal a new game you only get a short snippet, not the full length trailer that Naughty Dog revealed at this year’s Spike TV Video Game Awards for their upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive title, The Last of Us.
