Just fire up your console and you’ll see the Countdown to Mars tile under the Home section on the dashboard.
Under Highlights you have several groovy options available including the free Kinect game, quiz, slideshow and videos.
The coverage will begin on Sunday night at 8:30 PT / 11:30 ET. Right now, if you go into the live section, you’ll see the countdown and an awesome video of how NASA is landing the Rover.
According to a blog post by Xbox Live’s Major Nelson: The free Mars Rover Landing game lets you test your skills as you try to safely land the Mars Rover on its landing site. To play the game, you’ll need to have an Xbox Kinect. It won’t work with a controller. You start by entering the atmosphere of Mars, deploy the parachute and navigate the rover to the landing zone.
