Gameloft has announced its intention to bring card game classic UNO to WiiWare, DSiWare, mobile phone platforms and the Playstation Network for both PS3 and PSP. There’ll be no hiding from it in 2009, literally…
At this point 360 gamers are probably feeling a little smug - the game’s been out for absolute yonks and, in a stark denial of its low-tech origins, continues to be one of the shiniest stars in the Xbox LIVE Arcade firmament. Indeed a brief glance at the recent LIVE logs reveals that UNO is still fifth in the most-purchased XBLA game charts. Incredible, if not a little bizarre!
But play this seemingly simple game for more than five minutes and you’ll begin to comprehend its enduring, utterly compelling and unexpectedly devious appeal - particularly when played online with mates.
In short , then, the wider availability of UNO across most, if not all platforms worth their salt is great news for gamers. Keep an eye out for it soon and prepare to kiss you free time goodbye.
