Get these games free from Gameloft for a limited time
Forums member ryshhh spotted this sweet deal going on right now. It looks like a bunch of Gameloft games are being offered up free in BlackBerry App World. We're not totally sure why or for how long, so if you have any interest in all you should get on it. Now.
The games include Uno, Sonic Advance, Asphalt 6 and more. You can hit up the link below to check out the full list. Be sure to check out the forums for more discussion.

Seems like the countries that have it available for free are the ones affected by the EMEA blackout. No Sonic for Rogers in Canada :(
edit: after checking the other games, its definitely only the Sonic one that we don't get :(

Any of these games aren't compatible with my Bold 9900 ¬¬
happycracky Oct 10, 2012 at 1:50 pm
No freebies for the UK :-(
tlbruce1969 Oct 10, 2012 at 1:54 pm
Compatible devices shows 9930, but when scaning the barcode, it shows as "unavailable for this device", anyone else seeing this? Verizon USA

dcrystal99 Oct 10, 2012 at 1:58 pm

None of them show as free for me on my 9800 in the USA.
Nascar Dog Oct 10, 2012 at 2:07 pm
Nothing on Telus Canada either...
Says unavailable for my Bold 9900 if I scan the bar codes for Asphalt or Sonic.
manofice1 Oct 10, 2012 at 2:11 pm
Not free in the USA

App World link says several are free on the desktop version of the website, when you go to your Blackberry phone or PlayBook to App World they almost all cost, I know this isn't CB's fault but what a crock....this post should be taken off the Blog...false advertising at it's finest here for sure.
ltcjose Oct 10, 2012 at 2:21 pm
yeah none of the games are compatible with my 9930
grberry Oct 10, 2012 at 2:22 pm
Nothing coming up on App World on my 9900
lengend Oct 10, 2012 at 2:23 pm
Sonic and real soccer are not even in my appworld
bennavere Oct 10, 2012 at 2:37 pm
None of the Free games are available for my 9850 in the US Sprint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
chaosdivine Oct 10, 2012 at 2:40 pm
There is nothing free in Canada when you search "gameloft" through the App World via the PlayBook. Everything costs.
More checking needs to be done by Crackberry.com before publishing article. If indeed these are free, then we need more proof.
kfroese Oct 10, 2012 at 2:57 pm
No love for my Canadian 9800 on Bell.
rebroker2009 Oct 10, 2012 at 2:58 pm
Not compatible with any blackberry anywhere by the looks of it. Guess they are not free either! Waste of time...Perhaps you can test first before publishing this type of thing in the future
billsterjito Oct 10, 2012 at 3:05 pm
Booooo! none for me!
mav3r1ck Oct 10, 2012 at 3:32 pm
Got sonic and asphalt for free =)
robert.wason Oct 10, 2012 at 3:39 pm
The message is a little misleading when you scan the App barcode in App World. It says my device is not supported even though it is - the real reason is my country is not supported. Eg. these apps are not supported in North America as far as I can tell.
thatplaybookguy Oct 10, 2012 at 3:47 pm
how can you put out games for a phone that is made in Canada but yet exclude us from getting the games. I check the country compatibility list and literally everywhere else on earth is available except Canada. seriously, do you not want to make any money or get your name as a quality game maker out there. sheesh. this is whats wrong. guess its time again to look up a proxy server and get it that way.
Ruslan Botsyurko Oct 10, 2012 at 3:47 pm
Czech Republic not on the list of supported countires :(
Too bad, I was looking forward to playing some Sonic on my 9900...

'The Item is not available for your Device Model, Device OS, Carrier and Country combination.'
Yeah? So why does the game (Asphalt 6) show in App World for £3 on my phone and free on the screen before App World?
Boo to Gameloft - what a crock. Obviously not available in the UK, or most of the world, so why list them as free?
sjc1963 Oct 10, 2012 at 6:22 pm
It's been free for the Playbook for quite some time now.

not in Greece either
sjc1963 Oct 10, 2012 at 6:27 pm
They should clearly state if these offers are for the smartphones or the tablet and not just say for the Blackberry. That's misleading and lazy.
IAmAmirHasan Oct 10, 2012 at 6:30 pm
Wow 5 hours later and still no updated post. Good work Crackberry.
kill_9 Oct 10, 2012 at 10:57 pm
Where are productivity applications to make the BlackBerry PlayBook the "world's first professional-grade tablet?" If I wanted a portable gaming console I would have bought a portable gaming console. Hey with the breast photograph on the front page of this website can we expect more "adult" entertainment?
wickednoize Oct 11, 2012 at 3:24 pm
No India :(
Impact15 Oct 12, 2012 at 12:32 am
So why does Sonic show compatible with the 9850 online but when I scan it with my phone App World says "unavalable for this device"? Additionally, why do some apps list the 9860 and not the 9850??? Totaly not feeling the love with my torch, should have gotten the 9900...
