Free XBL game to compensate crappy Live
 
The Free game has been decided due to the xmas live problems.

Unfortuanately it's Undertow, which I thought was pretty crappy when played the trial, oh well.

Not surprised. It's probably one of the weakest games on live arcade at the moment, so it's also probably the cheapest one for them to give away as nobody was buying it anyway :(

InvisibleMan 21 January 2008 05:43 PM

shame they didnt extend the Carcasonne offer i missed that week it was given away free during the Live anniversary.
