Promotion: Get free mobile games with 123play
|

We've written a fair bit about ad-funded mobile games in the last year, tracking the new business model of giving games away for free, with in-game ads ensuring publishers still get paid.

But why, you may have wondered, aren't we doing it ourselves? And if you weren't wondering that, well, we were. So we've done it.

Check out the 'Free' link in the navigation bar above this story. It links through to a new section of Pocket Gamer offering a selection of titles from ad-funded gaming site 123play. It's simple to use – you just choose the game you want, enter your mobile number, and you'll be sent a link to download it.

The first crop of games includes Worms 2007, 3D Mini Golf: Las Vegas, and Cake Mania, so there's something for everyone.

Here's a word from the boss: "We know that the 300,000 readers who visit our site every month love to read about games, and now they get to play them, too," says PG founder Chris James. "If we can get more people playing mobile games through this launch, then hopefully lots more people will see just how brilliant mobile games can be."

Huzzah to that. Anyway, click on the 'Free' link above or simply bookmark this page.
