Gameloft Giving Away Free Games This Labor Day Weekend And All Games Only 99 Cents!

Apparently, the guys over at Gameloft have lost their minds seeing they are practically giving away their ENTIRE lineup of Android games all for only $1 as part of a “Back to School Sale.” To receive this discount, you have to visit a special promo link that I have provided for you here.
But that’s not all — starting today and lasting throughout Labor Day weekend (Sept. 5th), Gameloft will also be giving away some of their top selling Android games for absolutely FREE. The announcements will be made via their Twitter and Facebook so make sure you can a close an eye on both those accounts. Games will be announced at random and you will only have 2 hours to snatch them up without having to pay a single red cent.
If you’re a gaming junkie like me and have some time to kill this weekend, there has never been a better time to try Gameloft’s entire line of premium, full featured mobile games. Sorry kids, you won’t find Doodle Jump here. I don’t know about you guys but I wont be waiting around for the announcements. My wallet is about to get a whole lot lighter.

Gameloft boss defends company's clones

Cloning is a hot-button topic, the ethics of which continue to be explored by legislatures, theologians and George Lucas. In the games world, one company is at the forefront of the science: Gameloft. Its experiments -- including the recent Shadow Guardian, a facsimile of Uncharted 2 -- have been praised by some and reviled by others. Gameloft CEO Michel Guillemot says that's okay (and the sales numbers would agree).

"The video game industry has always played around a limited number of themes," Guillemot proposed in an interview with IGN. "There is maybe one new idea a year." He further addressed Gameloft's detractors by saying, "The damaging thing is if you do a bad expression of a good idea." Hmmm ... We wonder if Guillemot was thinking about Capcom's MaXplosion when he said that.
