I must say Microsoft know how to cram alot into one press release, I hope the press officer is paid on a per word basis. Seeing as Microsoft are committed to creating a "unique digital entertainment experiences that revolve around gamers" news on some more backward compatibilty was sadly lacking (muggins is still stuck with his xbox version of battlefield 2 modern combat, crimson sea, fallout brothers of steel, marc eckos getting up, hell morrowind for that matter)

May I just add (trying to be helpul etc) that Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne and Alhambra are brilliant and extremely succesful board games...
They should do better than Xbox Live's UNO...
(and an excellent post too)
how could i live one lifetime and never hear of them... i've led too sheltered a life... i blame the nuns... actually Uno is one of the free games they're giving away
(thank you)
I've edited your post to take account of Gnomes superior experience
It's amazing how many blogger employees pass through this place daily. Amazing.
