Best of all, only the host needs to have downloaded the Kameo-themed UNO deck in order for all players in the game to experience the unique twist and visuals. It's your choice: be among the first to bring this new style of gameplay to the table, or wait for a friend to share it with you!
The UNO “Kameo Theme Deck” is based on the hit Xbox 360 game from renowned game developer Rare. "Kameo: Elements of Power" grants players the ability to morph into unique and incredible warriors allowing the main character Kameo to search out and battle ever-present evil.

Tony Hawk's Project 8 demo has now hit the Marketplace. (Except in Asia) I've been itching to grab a'hold of this demo for a while as the released videos of Project 8 so far look really good.
So fire up them 360's and start downloading, at only 343mb its not too big either. Although that could mean a pretty short demo.

Long-awaited arrival of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 for Microsoft's Xbox 360 downloadable game service set for November.
A decade and change ago there were two fighting franchises duking it out for supremacy at the arcades: Midway's Mortal Kombat and Capcom's Street Fighter. Earlier this year, it was revealed that installments from both series would be released for the Xbox 360 on Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade service.
In August, Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting was released after fans were made to endure multiple delays. Meanwhile, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 has yet to be delayed, possibly because it has never had a release date any more exact than "by the end of the year." With 2006 heading into the home stretch, Midway has finally narrowed that window down a bit.
Midway today announced that Ultimate Utimate Mortal Kombat 3 would be available in November, completing a four-hit combo that also consists of the PlayStation 2 and Xbox editions of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon (being released this week and next, respectively) and the series' PSP debut, Mortal Kombat: Unchained. Midway has not announced a price for the game yet.
Microsoft have just released a nice little touch. How would you like to surf the web to view the latest Marketplace downloads?
Well as from today you can do just that, with Microsoft's new website entitled Xbox Live Pipeline. Updated daily with the latest downloads this could be quite handy for people at work wanting to keep track of the latest downloads.
And although you cannot download from the site, it still offers some useful functions like the Editors Choice where you can view the hottest downloads. And its a hell of a lot faster than browsing using the Xbox's interface. :)
