Making reparations for the recent Xbox Live downtime, Microsoft have offered up the acclaimed Xbox Live Arcade title Undertow as a free download.

Undertow features a 15 level campaign for single-player or co-op and two robust multiplayer modes for up to 16 players. While many of the maps have level-specific goals, the core gameplay of Undertow centers on this maxim: Kill as many enemies as you can – and stay alive for as long as possible!

Early reports indicated some downloading issues with the free title but we had no such problems nabbing the 48MB download here in the office. Best hurry if you want in on the action though, as after 11:59 p.m. PST Sunday, January 27, Undertow returns to it's regular price of 800 MS points.

f***ing bulls***, my console died before xmas, I sent it in, just got it back last week and it won't connect to live, so I have to send the damn thing back in (3rd time now) and will miss out on this.

so sick of microsoft's s***, glad that guy came out and spoke out about the quality control, even though I reckon even more than 30% of them fail.

Undertow is epic. Hopefully i will finally be able to play some people online now.


Also, what do you do if you have already purchased the game?

I recall reading on majornelson's site that you should contact support if you have already purchased Undertow, and they will sort things out for you.
