As none of the games are downloading at the moment, decided to post it in the forums. There is a catch though, you have to like their Facebook page. The games get revealed one by one when a certain numbers of likes has been reached.

Let me point you to this thread… http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=116234
We have discussed the path that Gameloft is taking. By making their memorable games in to IAP & Ads infested junk. Albeit their games are still the best to be seen on the iPhone and Android. But their practise has now deviated from the 'fun and modern' to '$$$ and Ads'. Very disappointing!!
From the facebook page it seems like these following 4 games (speculations, from the blurry images): Pocket Chief, Avatar the game, Heroes of Sparta & Fishing King. All of them will carry a 'plus' sign, meaning you will able to play the full game no problem but buying IAPs will help a lot more!
One more thing that makes me really dislike Gameloft is that they are buying votes through out all the public social websites. Facebook likes, Twitter follows, 5-star rating on iStores, refer friends for extra credits using email… etc.
I will give them a benefit of doubt after seeing this on their FB wall comment
No it's not going to be like Let's Golf! 3. It's going to be Totally free. You won't need any in-game purchase to unlock content. :) (8hrs ago)
In addition to one of the youtube video comments
It's clear they have a set date for the free release they just want more fans on facebook (upanddowntwice1)
Just noticed this on the Facebook page…

So, it's a pretty pointless excercise really. Just wait until they become free, and download them then.
I guess the "alert me" email address might be a good idea.
