Ive read that with all these "So-Called" problems with XBox Live over the christmas period, Microsoft are offering a XBLA game for nothing, within a 24 hour time-frame.

When is this, or has it already passed?

Well, they've promised it, but that's about as much as they've done. I'd rather have the 800 MS points than (what's likely to be) UNO/Carcassonne/the worst game on XBLA.

No. I recon they will have to release one of their upcoming XBLA titles for free because what would be the point in giving everyone marble blast ultra say, when loads of people have it already? That's what i think.

...so everyone gets a game that came out in November. Great!

I'll download it to see what the crack is but the XBLA really doesnt float my boat...how about 800pts instead? I also feel sorry for the ppl who have been messed around by the poor service over Xmas and already own this game...what do they get?

MS are offering an alternative if people contact their support team.

This looks crap
How the hell did this make IGN best of e3

Metal Slug 3 AND Bomberman Live are WAAAAAAY better than this
XBL goes down and all we get is a crap game

Shame on microsoft, shame on them

' I no-scoped JFK '

I had it when i played Gears ... before Halo 3
[ Damn You Bungie .... Damn You To ..... Some-where ... i Forget ]

But Halo 3 and CoD4 came round and i got banned .... looks like all the old Gears Fans have turned Pussy ....

i suppose the first ban was justified - my bio space was filled with:

'advertise female friends and family here. Excellent rates. 20% discount on grannies and fatties'

had it for bout coupla months. Never did get anyone take me up on the offer

At the moment my bio is class:

If anybody is reading this from the U.S - i like Tea and Crumpets so much that i pour tea into a bath and wash myself with it, whilst using a Giant Crumpet as a sponge

:D
