I think it’s safe to say that almost everybody who’s reading this has played Uno at some point.  Personally, I grew up on Uno, and I think I learned just a bit of my numbers and colors before school even started by virtue of regular Uno games with my folks.

And for you fellow Uno fans out there, there’s a brand new Uno experience on Xbox Live Arcade, yours for a mere eight hundred Microsoft points–Uno Rush.

This time, in Uno Rush, you’re dealt a hand outright, and you can take the equivalent of several Uno turns all at once by virtue of matching up numbers, colors and symbols in advance to form a run.  You’ll have the standard command cards, too, like Draw Four, Wild, Draw Two, Skip and Reverse, but you’ll also get the new command card Shuffle, which causes an opponents well-planned hand to suddenly randomize, possibly causing the player to lose a run.

I liked this game, really–sure, playing by yourself isn’t a whole lot of fun, but as a party game or an online title this one will shine.  Look for a LOT of people to pick this one up, and for it to be a great social game.
