Poker Smash seems to be a big success, two weeks in a row at #1 now. Discs of Tron on the other hand, had one of the lowest debuts (I think) of any XBLA game at #6.

Dash Text: [ESRB: E (Everyone)] A faithful 3-D reproduction of the Calvert style chess set for Chessmaster Live.

Looks like several different styles might be on their way. What are the chances of Battle Chess making it?

Undertow! Get your free Undertow right here!


Your free copy of Undertow is up and ready to get from your Xbox 360 Dashboard. Just make your way to the store and download your very own copy of this underappreciated XBLA game.

For those who didn't pick it up the first time, here's a quick reminder:

"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."

Here is a trailer for the game released last year:



Now remember, this offer is only until 11:59 p.m. PST Sunday, January 27, so be quick!
