I wonder if this means this week is intended as a Live Arcade dead week with no new games?

If you already have Undertow call Microsoft and tell them you'd like to download Space Giraffe for free instead. Make sure they understand you'd only get the game if it was free.

lol..that's the only way I'd download the full game.

I downloaded Undertow this morning, only played through one part of it, but thought it was pretty fun, I was surprised at the gameplay, wasn't anything like I expected, plays exactly like Geometry Wars, just has more bells and whistles.

Managed to free enough time to hook up my 360 to the internet real quick and download this. Have not tried it yet though.

Since I don't care about it, I'm going to delete it after Sunday and use it as a test case to see what happens when you delete free content and then try to redownload it.

It's free after that as well. I've done it before. Even if you downloaded the game on another 360 console, as long as you're logged in with your ID, you can re-download and play it on any console at any time for nothing.

Also I have to say the game is very fun. The single player campaign is very short though. The entire game can be beaten pretty easily in less than an hour (Although I only played it on casual) The game was fun playing co-op as well, but still super short. 16 player Vs is probably where the real excitement is. Red Vs Blue team free for all. I haven't tried it out yet, too tied up in The Darkness and PDZ lately.

Crap... I have been reminding myself for days to remember to snag this and I forgot. I will go look but I think I blew it on this one.

OK, as described. I just wanted to check because I couldn't think of a game which had been offerred for free for a limited time and then went back to a for-pay download.
