Free Game: Frets On Fire

Frets on Fire

How about another free game? This time the game is Frets on Fire. This game is very much like Guitar Hero, except it’s played using your computer’s keyboard. This game has all kinds of great features. First, it supports guitar controllers, so you don’t actually have to play with your keyboard if you really don’t want to. The game also contains hundreds of community created songs, it has a song editor to create your own songs, and it supports the importing of Guitar Hero 1 and 2 tracks. Oh yeah, and it’s Mac, Linux, and PC compatible. This really is a great one.

Remember when Xbox Live was having problems a few weeks ago? Of course you do, and you’re ready for that free game that Microsoft promised to make you feel better about it, right? The game that is supposed to do this, is Undertow, and if you already own the game, I don’t know what to tell you. Call Microsoft support and bitch about it.

If you are still interested, the game will be available to all Xbox Live members (Gold and Silver) starting next week on Wednesday at 2 a.m. PST until 11:59 PST on Sunday. So what if your Xbox 360 is in the shop being repaired and you won’t get it back in time? You’re S.O.L.

Get a Free XBLA Game

If you own an Xbox 360, you’ve likely noticed that the Xbox Live service has been having serious technical problems over the holidays. Marc Whitten, the GM of the Xbox Live service has stated that this is due to the “massive increase in usage” from new members. So, as an apology for the downtime and a thank you for using the service they will be offering all Xbox Live Arcade members a free XBLA game in the coming weeks. They will be providing more details at a later time.
