According to Albert Penello, marketing director for Xbox, UNO, a card game deemed “the devil’s work” by my loving grandmother, is the first XBLA game to go platinum.
Most people will cry foul, thinking a more “deserving” game should have achieved this milestone, but I have to defend the addictive little distraction. I love me some UNO, I’m not ashamed. So what if I like dropping a hardcore “Rev” (that’s what us street UNO players call a reverse card) on some unsuspecting player? What are you going to do about it? Don’t hate.
Yeah, that’s right, I’m gangster. UNO gangster. Draw four, b*tches.
