    Another WP DoTW that is laughable. The games that are free do not look appealing at all, some of them even have discontinued achievements. Carcassonne was DoTW not too long ago if I recall!

    Are you kidding me? Nova and Modern Combat push the limits for a cell phone game. Nova is XBLA level as far as graphics.

    Anyone know how the DRM works on these Nokia Collection versions? Will they disappear, can I redownload later if I delete now?

    Hope they have the free games until thursday cause then I get Lumia 1320 with a 32 GB card so I can put games in there when Win 8.1 is out (if I don't get the developer thing so I can get it now). Does anybody know if you can downlad games from windowsphone.com and put then in the SD card throught usb or SD slot?

    I'll admit it a little dissappointed in the repeat deal, but good for those who can enjoy the freebies
    DEATH IS CERTAIN.

    Yes, you can. They call it "Sideloading" in WP 8. See link below. The trade off is that you can no longer use your SD card as integrated phone storage like you could in WP 7. As an example, I have the Huawei WP with very limited internal storage, so I bought an extra 32 GB card in order to install Spartan Assault. While I can use the card to hold and install the .xap file, the game still has to be installed entirely on the phone's internal storage, meaning I paid for a game I can't play until I get a phone with more internal storage.

    They may well do, but as they are free to a model that I don't have [Lumia 925] it gets automatically overlooked which is a crying shame.

    Wow...wonder why just THOSE models?
    Job & A Social Life, achievements most gamers refuse to earn...therefore, their ratios are high.

    ^ They look like newer phones, so guessing it's a sweetener for upgraders.

    I'm not seeing the free version of these games. I downloaded the 8.1 update early, could that be why?

    This changes in WP 8.1 which is out in dev preview right now!

    I have a 64 GB SD card and you can now fully install apps on to the SD Card!

    Why are there hardly any actual good games for Windows 8?

    Yes I have the Lumia 1520, I don't see any options for free other than the usual "try" option.
