As promised, Microsoft is making a peace offering for holiday outages to all Xbox Live subscribers. The good/bad news is that the apology comes in the form of a free download of the game Undertow,

Users can begin downloading the full version of the Xbox Live game, Undertow, at 2 am (PST), Wednesday, January 23, 2008. If you’ve already purchased the game, Microsoft suggests North Amerrican subscribers contact the support team at 800-4-MYXBOX (800-469-9869). Not owning the game, I can only guess that you’ll either get some credits or a code for an equal or lesser value game

Undertow is an underwater action/shooter developed by Chair Entertainment Group and available only through Xbox Live. Normally it would cost 800 Microsoft Points (US$10), but now it’s free for everyone.

Here’s the game’s description from Xbox Live’s site:

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.
