undertow is now available for xbox live users to download, gold and silver

[projectego]

Awesome! Well... it looks like a rubbish game... but free's free, right? Thanks for the heads-up, ctj, I probably wouldn't have remembered otherwise.

Yeah its available but unsure if i want to waste Hard Drive space on it.

It's an alright game, fun for a few hours maybe.

Yeah, it's more like a 3D Free-Roam version of Space Invaders, except with Scuba Divers, the voice audio is pretty bad as it sounds like it came from the 16-Bit era (Sega Genesis, SNES, etc.).

But it's an alright game, wouldn't be missing much if you didn't get to download it though.

I played a little of it last night it was kind of fun. Very much an Arcade Game with a few cut scenes thrown in.

I'm glad I was able to download it and play a quick co-op game with Kave before my Xbox 360 died. Looks like if I hadn't downloaded it when I did I would have never been able to -- without paying, that is.

I thought it was okay when I played it, nothing earth-shattering. I still would have preferred Streets of Rage 2 or a Sonic The Hedgehog arcade game.

I'm guessing that the have to pay a bit for each downloaded game and probably went with the lowest bidder in terms of how much they pay out per game. With 10 Million XBL users thats 100,000 a penny if everyone downloads a game. They could of aslo negotiated a set fee for the game.

Is it not free anymore? I was trying to get a friend to download so we could play together but they told me it was 800 GP.
