This week holds an extra special Xbox LIVE Arcade Wednesday as all Xbox LIVE members receive the superb “Undertow” free of charge. Silver and Gold subscribers should head over to Xbox LIVE Arcade between 10am GMT Wednesday, 23 January and 8am GMT on Monday, 28 January to claim Undertow for free. Yeah, you heard right – that was zero Microsoft Points!

Is this that free game they were promising for such crappy service over the Christmas/New Year period, or is this just a free for a few days on release game?

Its the free game for when Live was playing up of the holiday period. It has been out a while though.

I can't read that at work but I'd bloody well hope not. Undertow is rubbish. Why not just give everyone who had a gold membership at that time 800 points?

It is! Eurogamer are being sarcastic in their news.
They even state in the openoing paragraph this is THE free game.

Remember that free Xbox Live Arcade game we were all promised to thank us for our loyalty? It's Undertow.
Beginning Wednesday, 23rd January at 2am PST (10am GMT) and ending on midnight PST on Sunday (8am GMT on Monday to you and me), every Gold and Silver Xbox Live subscriber in the world will be able to download the underwater shoot-'em-up we actually rather liked for free.
And here is them being sarcastic/amusing:-

Quote:
Just remember, this freebie is in no way an apology or compensation for the problems experienced with connectivity over the Christmas period, but rather a "thank you for your loyalty". We didn't realise that the principles of guardedly swapping insurance details after you've rear-ended someone could be applied to the management of a 10-million-strong online community, but hey, maybe it works both ways - perhaps next time I prang someone in a car park I'll jump out and fail to establish an online movie download service in Europe for 12 months.
And the reason Microsoft can't 'officially' say this is the Freebie for a crappy service:-

Quote:
As everyone knows by now, Microsoft has to watch what it says in public because angry Texans have decided to sue it for the service's performance over Christmas, meaning that Xbox Live's Major Nelson is no longer able to give us service status reports for fear of legal retribution.
