I think Im gonna go ahead and download it.

Sounds like a really good game.

If you want to get a free game that you might like Thom, try Carcassone.

It's not bad, but I'd have rather have had something like Bankshot Billiards.

And the southern british accents annoy the fuck out of me in the game.

[Junkie13]

What's up with southern British accents? (Ok the ones in the game are way to posh.) Hardly anyone sounds like that.

It's a average game.
Downphoenix I don't think Carcassonne is still free?

Carcassonne was only free for that "Live is 5ive" week.

Yeah thought so, it's actually quite addictive.

Switchball would have been better. I like Switchball.

FREE SWITCHBALL!

Exactly. When's Nintendo going to provide compensation for their online outage....during the last 20 years...

Don't listen to Pirate, this really isn't that bad of a game - and being it's free, that makes it even better. Think of Geometry Wars underwater and you'll get an idea of what this game's about - the shooting works the same and such. I can imagine online with other people would be a hoot.

Of course it has its shortcomings, but I'm having a good time with it and found that I couldn't tear myself away last night.

Note: this is not me condoning MS's handling of this matter, as I still contend that I would have fancied MS pts. a helluva lot more.

For you guys complaining about what you got, you should be happy. In order to get Xbox Live! you have to accept their user agreement that states they don't need to compensate for outages. Yet, they were actually nice enough to offer something. It's like that saying, "Never look a gift horse in the mouth."

We can be happy and still complain. Without complaints, they'd do nothing.

So, we complain and then laugh at them when they give in.
