The Pocket Gamer Free Game Advent Calendar: December 2nd

It's Christmas. You can tell this because violently sentimental adverts are clogging up the breaks between your favourite reality TV shows. Oh, and you can't buy any of the stuff you want because you need to buy socks for everyone you've ever met.

But here at Pocket Gamer's candy cane grotto, we're the giving kind. From now until we unplug for Christmas, we're going to be shouting at you about the best free games you can grab to keep yourself sane over the festive period.

We're starting things off with a twofer. Because, well, you're the most important people in our lives. And if you left during the holidays, we don't know what we'd do.

Right now, then, you can grab the Silver Award-winning Mikey Shorts for nothing [download] and the Silver Award-winning Mikey Hooks for 69p / 99c [buy].

Two of the finest retro-looking platformers on the App Store for next to nothing. Good stuff, eh.

Off you pop and download those. We'll see you tomorrow for another free game recommendation.
