It looks like the 360 community overlooked a clever hint weeks ago by Silver Creek about what exactly Soltrio Solitaire actually is. On their official boards, Silver Creek staffer Jonas made a post that looks to pretty obviously point to the features of Soltrio Solitaire.[quote]What would rock is if you could play Solitaire right on your TV where I wouldn't even have to get my butt of the [sic] coutch.

And then I could like go on some solitaire game adventure, play [sic] regurlar solitaire or yeah, like play solitaire head to head. I'm sure I could at least beat Gromph at a solitaire duel.

Lets see, that would be like 3 solitaire games in one. A trio of solitaire.[/quote]If you want to take a look at other obvious hints, read this post by "Soltrio". Oh, how blind we are.

[Update: There is a phone code at the bottom of the post that says "7658746 47 266464", which is "Soltrio is coming". Texting fans will see that as an obvious puzzle.]

[Update: There is an official site for Soltrio Solitaire available on the internet. Currently, it is just a splash screen, but XBLArcade.com will let you know when it rolls into a full site. From the splash screen, it appears that this is a new style of game from Silver Creek and is a departure from the Hardwood series.]

Back in the days of Xbox Live Arcade on the original Xbox, Silver Creek Entertainment released a game called Hardwood Solitaire. It was the only Hardwood game released for the original Xbox; however, closely following the release of the Xbox 360 Silver Creek Entertainment released Hardwood Backgammon (I recommend this game a lot), Hardwood Hearts and Hardwood Spades. Some fans wondered why Hardwood Solitaire was not ported over to the Xbox 360. The answer actually came to us almost two months ago when Soltrio Solitaire popped up on the USK website, but we didn't actually realize it. Fast forward to today and the ESRB website lists Silver Creek Entertainment as the developers of Soltrio Solitaire. This definately gives us an idea of what possibly we might be seeing in terms of feature set for this game.

[url=http://www.xbox-archiv.de/?p=5312]Xbox Achive[/url] has uncovered that a previously unknown title, Soltrio Solitaire, and Track & Field has been rated by Germany's USK. Of course, it is not entirely known if Soltrio Solitaire is in fact a XBLA game, but it seems like common sense given the fact that a $60 Solitaire would be ridiculous. I'm a little disappointed that lately it seems like the USK and ESRB have been the #1 place for game announcements for Xbox Live Arcade, but hopefully this will mean we will be getting something official from the Soltrio Solitaire developers soon.
