    I'm sorry to complain about free apps but I totally agree. Nobody would buy these apps anyway. I've never even heard of the Chuck Noris one.

    As far as I'm concerned when they give out free apps they aren't loosing money they just aren't making money. It costs the same amount of money to distribute this game to 1 person or 80 mil so why are they holding back? I'm not sure I want to buy another game from gameloft just because they think more about the money than the customer (don't explain business to me I know that you want to make money in a business)

    I agree, except for Castle of Magic... which I missed.

    Come on Gameloft, better games next time! ;)

    I missed Castle Of Magic. Got the other three so far - they've all been deleted off my springboard already... I've set the BoxCar app to ping me whenever gameloft is mentioned in a tweet.. yesterday I had upwards of a thousand pings and all the ones I read were either moaning about the time of the giveaway and the low quality of the free apps or were general retweeted newsflashes. This definitely hasn't been a great advert or birthday celebration for gameloft. I'll stick to my free stuff from the openfeint app from now on tyvm...

    got it! lol gonna do a quick play of it, i know people dont like the games they give for free, but they are higher quality than most free games out there and they provide at least longer playability

    this game reminds me of stickwars, but with a twist. not bad considering its a full FREE version

    Thinking about it... I assumed maybe some of their $10 apps would be free, silly excitable me, haha. Now after a week... I see it's the lower end price stuff... which isn't bad (I already owned Castle of Magic so only one I didn't dl this week again - good game tho, def worth the tiny price if you missed it!)...

    They still have way over 5 low end price apps left, so their giveaways can still be done... but I think I won't hold my breath for the good ones any more... haha... maybe just one of them right at the very end??!!

    see gameloft is playing with people, if they were serious about their BS anniversary they wouldn't release such pityful apps (except castle of magic)

    I mean most of us didn't even know these apps exited, and people don't buy them anyways

    But still gameloft you have few more day to redeem yourself
