An update to an earlier post we made regarding the Xbox Live outages and issues, they have finally announced the free game we'll be receiving. It's Undertow from Chair Entertainment Group and we'll be getting it next week starting Wednesday, 2:00 a.m. PST through Sunday, 11:59 p.m. PST for all Gold and Silver members.

Here's the official Xbox.com game page for it:

Here's the game's description:

Undertow is a fast-paced action-shooter that sends you underwater as you battle up to 16 players for control of the oceans! Non-stop conquest-style battles push the envelope of onscreen effects and combat action and boast some of the most stunning graphics ever seen in an Xbox LIVE® Arcade title.

• Combat control: Undertow features relentless high-speed combat with simple and intuitive controls.
• Visual style: The incredible next-gen graphics resonate with a vibrant underwater visual style.
• Multiplayer matches: Undertow features 16-player multiplayer battles and two-player co-op modes.
• Races and upgrades: The game includes three different playable races, each with four unique upgradeable units.
• Single-player campaign: The 15-level single player campaign has a compelling story told through cutscenes.

This looks like it may actually be a good title. I applaud their efforts to pick a quality game for compensation over the many titles we all feared they would like Yaris or Totemball. Hopefully they have learned their lesson and will be better prepared for an onslaught of new users next Christmas. In the meantime, check out the original article and feel free to discuss this in our forums.
