Microsoft offers free Arcade game ‘Undertow’ for holiday Live woes; you’ll want to drown yourself after playing it

January 24th, 2008 | Category: xbox live

In an effort to make good with XBox Live players who encountered problems with the service over the holidays, Microsoft made the arcade game “Undertow” a free download for the next few days.

The problem is that the game is in no way quality compensation for the poor user experience in December.  The game itself holds promise as a nice, compact multiplayer title.  But it isn’t good enough to feel like you got what you were due.  

Microsoft would have been way better off giving users the 400-800 Microsoft Points needed to go purchase whatever they wished from the Marketplace.

But that would have made way too much sense, right?
