Would've loved free MS points or at least a choice of games. A Sea shooter really doesn't seem all that interesting.
NO NO NO NO NO FUCK NO! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME! WHY! ALL THE INTERESTING SHIT IS COMING OUT ON XBL WHEN MY SYSTEM DIED! MICROSOFT YOU BASTARDS!
I WANT FREE STUFF!
Another shooter?
At least it's free.
Hmmm... I don't really want Undertow, so I'm going to brave the depths of XBL support and try to get 800 points credited anyway.
Since buying my new 360 a few weeks ago and having to wait 8 hours to recover my account, I have had no problems with Live. So, if I'm getting a free game because of some people having problems with a service, then by all means, I will accept it. Do I think it's the right decision? Well, considering the cost of the game is a little more than 2x the cost for 2 months of Live, I don't think it was a bad decision. People are still coming out ahead here.
i think everyone needs to quit crying about XBL being down. Who cares if it was acting weird for a couple of weeks.
Eh. It's not bad.. not very good either.
@the love above
the people who pay for it to be online 24/7...meaning everyone.
anyway i was hoping they would give a new release away for free that way they dont have to go through the crediting bs...but whatever...free is free.
It's no Metal Slug, so I'm disappointed. That and I've never even heard of this game. Whatever, I'm over it.
Now, to get my PC and 360 networked....
Hey it's a game I wouldnt have played, glad to get it for free.
And if anyone's wondering why we aren't getting status updates on XBL, its because some fucking bastards are suing MS for their 2 bucks. With the issues being involved in an ongoing case they can't disclose those details.
Goddamnit, we need some "stop suing everybody" panda up in here
I've heard this was a good game, but it really doesn't matter to me, as I had no Live problems of any sort.
So I'll take the free game and be happy.
Can't argue with free-99
Godamn it, I wanted this game! and I want it for free!
please tell me I can reserve this for download or something off of xbox.com please.....
@aborto
Try calling XBL support, tell them your issue, and maybe they can help. Either that or email Major Nelson directly. Either one should have about the same level of success.
That's lame.
... at least its free :)
i always wondered what a two stick, robrotron style shooter would be like on xbox live.
I can't wait to get this and not ever play the fuckin thing.
this game is pretty dumb. lame move, msft.

Well free is free I guess....I did download the demo and was nearly bored to tears, maybe I can call and pretend I bought it. Should go well enough until they look at my purchase history.
Free game is free and free is good.
I think they should just visit each subscriber and kick them in the face, instead.
Free is good, yes. But not when users deserve more.
The game I suppose could've been a better choice, but what's impressing me is that if you already downloaded it you'll get credited back the points. Very cool. :)
Well...It could have been Joust. At least Undertow is a decent game with a full single player campaign.
I'd prefer the points though so I could choose.
free is free, so even if it's crappy, I'll get it and play it(I've even played Carcassone a few times and learned to enjoy that somewhat)
I'm only upset that my video went out on my 360. So unless I can get to a friends 360 on those days to dl the game with my memory card, then I'm missing out on crappy free content.
"its because some jewy fucking bastards are suing MS for their 2 bucks. "
seriously? do they ban around here? cause, i kinda hope so.
that and undertow kind of sucks
I thought the demo was pretty fun, I'll have to get this.
Woot!
I'd rather have free xbox live though..
I'm satisfied
Undertow was one of the highest rated XBLA games of last year. I'm honestly surprised they're giving away such a good game instead of Asteroids Deluxe or something.
I'm psyched because:
A. I wanted Undertow but never did because:
B. I knew none of my friends would get it.
C. I haven't had any Xbox Live issues at all.
Now I get it for free as will everyone I know all because some people somewhere had some trouble with Live. No complaints here.
I downloaded the demo for this a while back and I didn't understand what the hell was going on. But, hey, if it's free I'll take it and I'll like it.
Bullshit, gimmie 800 points or Metal Slug 3 for free.
Or, come out with another update with more vid codecs. :)
screw the game, give me a couple of months of gold service which makes more sense. Suppose people don't like this game?
They should give all Gold users who have an active paid gold account for the month of December 800 gamer points to do with what they want, personally Undertow is a great game. Although if live isn't working 100% then it's pointless cause this game is great for its online multiplayer action. Kinda ironic.
Live is broke, so where giving you this free game you can play online with friend.
i think everyone needs to quit crying about XBL being down. Who cares if it was acting weird for a couple of weeks.
gee....I dunno, because they, like, paid cash money for fucking service that is supposed to work?
Not everyone has mom & dad paying the bills, ya know?
I agree that this isn't enough... I mean... was it too much to ask for Pacman CE?!
i'm kool wit it. i too was expecting Joust or Frogger or some shit.
if you read my blog you'd know im angry about it :P
Does that mean I can call Xbox support and get them to credit me 800 points for Carcassone from the time that they gave that away for free?
@manasteel88
If you think you're paying for it to be "up 24/7" then you are pretty much stupid. READ THE TERMS OF SERVICE.
If you give me 5 bucks a month to not punch you in the face, you don't get to whine when I kick you in the balls, especially when I took the time to point out to you that I make no guarantees in respect to not kicking you in the balls. Your desire to not be kicked in the balls does not mean you will not be kicked in the balls.
Never heard of this game and I never would have played it. I'll definitely take it for free though.
I wanted Bomberman Live. Bomberman Fucking Live.
Fine with me. Neat for those who already bought it I suppose.
I KNEW M$ would lame out and give away a shitty live game. I really think every gold member should be given an extended month. I mean what the hell do we pay $50 a year for? If we cant have a free month then let the members choose what game they want. Stoopid M$
i have had no problems at all
well one time it took 5 mins to log in but other than that no problems
so free game is awsome
I hope its ok
if there going to give it away for free
it probly isn't that good
I don't think any of you whiny asses deserve more. In the words of William Shatner, "GET A LIFE."
i wanted goldeneye!!1
but seriously,undertow? haha..oooh man. thanks ms! this really makes up for every game of halo 3 and COD4 ending in a disconnected message over christmas!
if there was ever a time for an epic face palm collage.. this is that time.
"From next Wednesday to Sunday, Gold and Silver members can download the game for free."
Having not bought Undertow and given it's for a limited time. I sure hope MS sends me an Xbox360 by then or i'll miss my oppurtunity
The demo sucked balls, no matter what good reviews I read I still don't like it. However, it is fucking free and I downloaded YARIS people, so why wouldn't I download this freebie for a few extra achievement points?
Im a consumerist whore, plain and simple.
