From what I've read, it depends on the game.

Hmm...
I once went to Harrisburg, PA with a friend's mom, maybe I should look into that.

I want an Xbox 360 too but yeah $499 Canadian is steep. Especially since I'm only really interested in Fight Night 3 for it right now.

I was able to download the Lost Planet demo but I can't download the Uno trial. WTF.

CG trailers do tell all...

I played Uno at Chux place today. It's the new XBLA killer app.




And where is my Geometry Wars 2 announcement?

Uno rules and I forgot to get more marketplace points at work today... doh! I'll be playing soon enough for those that want to play me.

They have a mini article on joystiq about the new camera:

The process takes about three minutes, and is a little rough around the edges, but the immersiveness from seeing your opponents' faces both in 3D and in a superimposed webcam display is undeniable. The PMS Clan ladies demonstrating the game were impressed, describing it as a way to increase the addictiveness and realism of online poker, and wondering when they'd see their own faces in their favourite FPS. However, we find the concept of seeing our own dead bodies disturbing enough without adding our faces to it.

There was an eyetoy tool that let you do this on PS2, but it never really worked too well, do to the difficulty of getting good lighting in a living room environment, and the low-res nature of the camera. Hopefully, this turns out better.

Uno supports the camera, it's under options.
