Title: Free Undertow next week (XBLA)
Post by: Flames_of_chaos on January 19, 2008, 02:27:58 AM
If you haven't heard since Microsoft's Xbox live has been down or acting up for about 3 - 4 weeks everyone gets a free download of Undertow from 1/23 to 1/27. Details.

I saw a vid of this game and it looks a lot like Solar Jetman. Which is awesome.

People who already bought Undertow will not be getting a free game. LoL~

I read on neogaf that some people are plotting to try to get a 800 point refund I wonder if they will succeed in it? It would of been rad if MS gave away REZ HD or Ikaruga once those came out but I suppose undertow won't hurt.

I was hoping the rumor about Duke 3D coming to Live Arcade was true and THAT would be our free game.  I've never even heard of this game.  But free is free, and the outages didn't affect me too bad anyway so I was surprised to get anything.

I just wanted to remind you that the free Undertow XBLA game is now up, if you paid for it already call MS and they will issue you a 800 point refund.

Anybody get this yet?  I'm waiting for some impressions.  I mean, I'm gonna download it for free anyway, but still.

You never tried the demo?

Nope, never even heard about it until this news.

EDIT:  Just downloaded it.  I'm not really feelin' it.  Maybe I need to try to play it a little more but initial impressions are "meh...".  :-\

Yeah I was going to ask my roommate to give it a go with me, but then we played Aegis Wing instead.

Well, don't want to crap on anyone's good time, but this game kind of bores me. My initial impressions are "meh" as well Maverick.

Yeah, a good way to judge a game is if you die, do you want to keep playing?  As soon as I died in Undertow I just went "whatever..." and shut it off.  But conversely, "whatever... it's free."
