Marking the second week of the Days of Arcade promotion currently taking place on Xbox LIVE Arcade is the follow-up to the number-one selling XBLA title UNO, UNO Rush.
I couldn't fully grasp the concept of UNO Rush (800 Microsoft Points) until I saw it in action, so you might want to hit the jump for some in-game footage.
Otherwise, here's my attempt at explaining how it works: the game is similar to UNO, except when it's your turn, all of your cards that can be played, will be automatically. This means you must sort your deck accordingly while other players are busy laying out their cards.
If this isn't your cup o' tea, next week will see the launch of either The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, Lode Runner, Outrun Online Arcade, or Puzzle Quest: Galactrix. How do I know this? Well, Flock! has been dated for April 8, and Hasbro Family Game Night was already released; these are the Days of Arcade titles that are still in the queue.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied: "bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

And to predict next week's headlines, "Microsoft realizes that nobody wants to buy another version of a multiplayer game that they and all of their friends already own."
I enjoy XBLA UNO, but there's a certain way it needs to be played, and it seems like not enough people play it right. In the spirit of education, I made this instructional video on the correct way to play XBOX LIVE UNO. HINT: A bottle of vodka is involved.

I was expecting more of a progression than this, especially for 800.
it's been right so far for the releases
