Free XBLA Game: Weds 23/01/2008

Found out last Thursday, that the free Xbox Live Arcade Game all members are meant to receive as compensation for the completely abysmal performance of Xbox Live over the Christmas period.

The game we'll all be receiving is Undertow which normally sells for 800 MS Points, though there isn't yet a word on whether Microsoft will be refunding those people who have already bought the game. Quite why they didn't just release a new game for free is beyond me, it'd be a lot easier. Never mind.

From what I've found out, Undertow is some sort of "Aquatic Shooter" now - whether that means under water, or based on water, I've got to wait until morning to find out. Plus, if I get bored, you might find a review on here as well soon :)

Free: Xbox Live Arcade Game

I just read a post on Major Nelson's website (it's also on the official website) that there will be a free XBLA game for all Xbox Live users (Gold & Silver), as a sort of apology for the, frankly, appalling performance of Xbox Live over the Christmas Period.

I'll put up another post when I find out what it is and when you can get it :) Until then, I'm just hoping it doesn't go down (again), because I'll be very annoyed, along with a lot of others I'd imagine.
