While you wait for the "Halo 3" Heroic Map Pack, check out the 101st game to launch on Xbox LIVE Arcade as Chair Entertainment Group brings "Undertow" to the platform. The fast-paced, aquatic action game arrives this Wednesday, November 21st, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. GMT (2:00 a.m. PST).

"Undertow" redefines aquatic based shooters through a mix of high-definition graphics, intuitive controls and multiple modes of game play action. "Undertow" features a story driven single player campaign, on and offline co-op, and multiplayer for up to 16 players over Xbox LIVE. Players battle for control of the oceans as one of three selectable races, each with four unique, upgradeable units. "Undertow" will be available worldwide this Wednesday for 800 Microsoft Points and is rated E10+.

Yay Undertow.

Boo I have no time! This game looks amazing -- like a console version of Soldat, which is awesome -- but I just don't have room in my gaming schedule. I can probably pencil you in sometime around February, Undertow; have a seat in the lobby.

At least one of the joys of XBLA is that you don't have to worry about the game falling off the shelves. It's definitely going to get passed over, though -- dropping right after Rock Band and Mass Effect is a tough break.

Finally! Terrible timing, but at least its available.

What ever happened to Castle Crashers?

If the two reviews on gamerankings are any indiciation (88% and 90% respectively) then this is one awesome multiplayer game. But yeah, talk about bad timing; even if you only owned a 360, you'd still be swamped this week with Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, and Call of Duty 4 to say nothing of those of us with multiple systems.

I'll definitely buy it, though I don't know when I'll play it. I've been looking forward to this for a while.

I was going to say you're lying about February... Because of Brawl... But I forgot that you're one of those guys. *Scoffs*

I was wondering the same thing. The videos i seen of it several months ago made it look like a finished product, i wonder why it fell off the face of the earth

Microsoft expanded the maximum file size of an XBLA game and they decided to make it a longer, more complete product with more going on in it.
