unoFor a while now, Geometry Wars has been snagging in customers with its great demo.  39% of the people that download the demo actually buy the game. Thus it was and still is a very successful game. Now with the new Xbox live update, UNO has been released as a game demo and full game download on the marketplace. Yes, this is the card game where once a person has only one card left in their hand they are supposed to yell "UNO!" Hence the name, this new rendition of UNO was developed by Carbonated Games and40%-45% of the gamers that download the demo have bought the full version of the game.  Maybe people are just so excited about the Xbox 360 camera, they bought UNO in advance? Possibly its the fact that there are theme decks with new card effects, whatever it is, UNO is having great success on the marketplace.

» It's cheap and fun

It's only a few bucks, and it's just as fun as the real thing. And you can play it anytime. I Love some of the other next gen games, but if I want something I can get into quickly and be done quickly, I pick up Uno.

» Online is impossible

The game is fun in both single and multiplayer, but actually finding a multiplayer game is almost impossible for me.

» Matchmaking

Still awaiting an update to fix matchmaking for ranked games? Hard to know if it has already been released as it was only mentioned once at the end of may. Still having trouble finding a ranked game. News on this should come before they start blowing the 'look at all the people buying a game that doesnt work' trumpet.
