Why do you think that is? Because they offer a few mobile games for.. wait for it… MG’s favourite word…. FREE!
I actually noticed the other day that Tattoo Tycoon was free while browsing the OVI Store the other day, so I was pleasantly surprised to see an official announcement and quote from HandyGames.

“Our strategy of offering full versions of our top game titles completely for free in the Nokia OVI store sets HandyGames™ apart. Hardly any other big mobile games publisher can do that.”, explains Christopher Kassulke, CEO of HandyGames™. “In the era of FREE, demo and trial versions of games have utterly gone out of style. Our goal is 5 million Nokia OVI downloads of our full games until the end of the year. And that’s just the beginning, because the mobile game market is unique. Hardly any other gaming platform is able to reach so many users in such a short time.”

What you do get though, is a nag ad from a ‘sponsor’ to download their product or service, but if you can live with that, then try out the three titles available so far:
