    Gameloft and EA will probably just do a Christmas sale, like they do for every other holiday...

    Gameloft is doing an Appvent calendar too. It's not for free games, though. It should start in a week or so.

    Actually, last year I think Gameloft did do some sort of of Advent/Christmas calendar thing. There was a few free games and discounts mixed in if I remember correctly, but like 90% of it was just trailers for upcoming games and useless stuff.

    Ah, you beat me to it. Do think there was one or two freebies last year though.

    Well, doubt there's a connection, but there's two EA games going free as we speak (Sims Medieval and Shift 2), so....

    Unfortunately it's NFS Shift, and not Shift 2, that's gone free.

    Yeah, I think on the first day they gave a wallpaper and the second day was a video of two guys in a car shop, by that time everyone was screaming mad. It was funny to watch everyone get so worked up about it. =)

    Lol. I don't think anybody cares about that anymore, after the horrible blunder Gameloft did last year.

    Nah, it wasn't that one. All of the sales literally lasted for 2 hours for Gameloft's 2009 advent calendar. Last year, they gave away a bunch of nonsense that weren't games as well. In 2009, every day's gift was a sale on a game.

    That was that anniversary sale and it was like one or two hours a day and some were in middle of the night. That was a beast! Here: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=54193&highlight=anniversary

    Not sure which was uhm errr -- "better." A 2 hour per day sale (always in the middle of the night somewhere in the world!) or a non sale like game trailers etc.

    I think I got ten out of twelve. The only time I've benefitted from being old and not being able to sleep through the night. =)

    Too many events to keep track of!!!! But yeah it was the anniversary sale and yet it is easy to mix all this up! Still don't know which is "better."
