Because of problems many Xbox Live Gold members had logging on during the holidays, a couple of weeks ago Microsoft announced that it would be offering a download of one free Xbox Live Arcade game. Many, including yours truly, were hoping to have our choice of games. But, such is not the case.

Today, the Big M made it known that the free game would be "Undertow." This game is a shooter that takes place in a future, flooded earth, and you can play for one of several factions either in single player mode, or take on up to 16 people in a free for all death match.

It's not what I was hoping for, but what are you gonna do, right? You can't argue too much with the price tag.

The game will be available for download starting at 2 a.m. this Wednesday, and the offer will expire at 11:59 p.m. (pst)
