Despite all the latest computer gaming technology and newfangled consoles, it's often the most basic games that stand the test of time - like Uno, for instance.

Pocket Uno is a Windows Mobile version of the classic card game, whereby you need to be the first person to get rid of all your cards. It's a faithful recreation of the original, with the same colors and designs on the cards and exactly the same rules.

It actually takes a little while to get into Pocket Uno. For starters, the program first launches in Esperanto for some bizarre reason. Luckily, you can change this to one of five other languages via the 'Lingvo' option. Also, if you've never played Uno before you might want to read the rules on the Internet or in a book first because there is no help file included.

There are several options available in Pocket Uno to help you customize your games. There are three difficulty levels, controllable animation speed, plus the ability to toggle on and off the background display. Unfortunately though, you can't change the number of computer opponents (it's set at three) and, more crucially, there's no multiplayer option.

Despite these shortcomings, Pocket Uno is still and enjoyable and well-presented version of a card game classic.

UNO Classic 2007 is a fun version of the popular card game for mobile phones. There's one simple objective - get rid of all your cards and shout out UNO!

If you don't know how to play it's fairly simple and this version offers a comprehensive explanation of the rules and instructions. We used to play a slightly different version with a rude word when I was younger. You lay down cards, change the direction of the game, skip to the next player and change the selection of the cards being placed down.

It's fast and fun and you can change the settings depending on the number of virtual players you want to compete against and the character you wish to choose. You can also adjust the music and sound settings. You can have it on vibrate to remind you when it's your go which is much more pleasant, especially when playing more than one game. There is a variety of different rooms and tables to keep things interesting.

In terms of its presentation UNO Classic is impeccable and the many different characters and scenes you can choose from are all bright and colorful. It's pretty addictive too, and the addition of a 'House Rules' mode only adds to its longevity.

If you're a fan of the original or if you're simply looking for a fun new game to play, this one is well worth downloading.
