Undertow XBLA expansion out today

Follow the Path of the Elect.

Chair Entertainment has popped Undertow expansion Path of the Elect onto Xbox Live Marketplace.

It costs 400 Points (GBP 3.40 / EUR 4.80) and adds the Elect race with a five-level campaign of its own, doable in co-op or single-player.

The Elect will be the fourth race, and be playable in multiplayer along with four new maps. You can get a glimpse of this in our Path of the Elect gallery or trailer.

Unfortunately there's no word on whether there will be any more Achievements on offer.

Undertow is a side-scrolling shooter that was released on Live Arcade last December. Our only criticism was its length, but otherwise we felt it was a fun and welcome addition to the service.

Microsoft also offered it to everyone for free as a way of apologising for the Christmas performance of Live. So most of you should have it by now.

It joins Rocketmen: Axis of Evil on Live Arcade today, which we'll be offering our thoughts on soon (here's one: don't).
