The free game is Gears of War!
Microsoft is pushing their ImagineCup with a free XBox 360 game (of the sponsor's choosing). To be eligible, you must be a student in college (high school maybe too?) and complete one of the ImagineCup quizzes by 2/1/2008.

You do not have to pass the quiz, only complete it. I'm not sure which ones are left, but I know the last IT quiz is 1/31/2008 at 2AM Central time. That is going to suck, but I will probably make a night out of it and go out, play some Rock Band, then take the quiz.
The game is of the sponsor's choosing, so I guess it is essentially random. You can always eBay/trade/GameStop it.
Just make sure you enter your school's name when you register. Read the details to see if high school/community/technical/other schools are eligible, I am not sure. I have not taken any of these this year or in the past, so I don't have much info to share. I will post more details if I find out more. If you participated last year, please share your experience!
EDIT
For clarification, you must complete a Round 1 Online Quiz by 2/1/2008. Quizzes are only offered at specific times, check the categories to see when.
