Uno



Uno doesn't need an introduction; it's a classic card game that people play during house parties or casual dinners. It can be played between 2-4 players.

The XBLA version comes with crisp and clear visuals and a soothing soundtrack. There's a single player, as well as a multiplayer mode. The game supports Xbox live vision camera and voice too, which makes it fun to play with your friends.

There are several different game modes and difficulty settings that can be changed under "house rules". The game follows the basic rules, although there are special themed cards that come with unique abilities; for example: you can play using the PGR-themed pack and have the ability to see anybody's cards using an ability called Gotham TV. The ranked matches use a True Skill meter to match you up with similar skill players.

GripShift



GripShift is an interesting mix of puzzle-solving and stunt-racing. The tracks are twisted enough to give "TM Nations" competition, yet the gameplay is a mix of many different genres. While you perform stunts and collect power-ups, there's a race against time.

You can choose from the many game modes and cars available; the cars can be completely customized to suit your preference. There are about 120 single player challenges, which are enough to keep you busy for hours. Leader boards on Xbox Live will ensure that you keep coming back to achieve a higher score.
