Soltrio Solitaire Next Wednesday

The latest from the Hardwood series creators will be available on the Arcade next week.

Considering the last card game that was released was Uno, this is a long overdue genre addition.

Rock on. But will that be

Rock on. But will that be it? Only one game for two weeks straight? I say, MUTINY!!!

"Indie is where it's at!"

They probably don't want to

They probably don't want to release their big hitters on the day the Halo 3 beta launches. Solitaire is about as far from Halo as you can get.

Sorta like how ESPN shows Jump-Roping finals during the Super Bowl.

$10 for Solitaire is the
$10 for Solitaire is the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time. I see this being the lowest selling XBLA game in the lifetime of the service. For that price, you could buy SOTN. You could buy TWO Hardwood games. You could buy TMNT and Geo Wars. For $3, you could buy a deck of cards and play Solitaire on your freaking table... in even higher definition.
Uno makes lots of sense. It's an inherently multiplayer game. This is Solitaire.
Wait, TWO Hardwood games

Wait, TWO Hardwood games versus EIGHTEEN Solitaire games... which one are you saying is the better deal?

People are acting like this is $10 for the single basic solitaire game that you get free. But this includes multiplayer games with camera support etc.

Hmmm..
I own all 59 arcade games, and it's going to be pretty difficult to throw down $10 for something I can play free on my Windows Vista PC.
