Well it is technicaly free to play, except you only get to play 2 or 3 levels for free.
I knew this would happen as soon as they announced that they had Tetris coming - Sky used their branded games as a gateway to gradually turning their entire games service into a chargeable service (I think only some levels of Beehive Bedlam remain free now). I do wonder how popular this service actually is. £1 a time for 3 fairly basic games, all of which can be downloaded free from the internet (and are better) is hardly good value for money.
That both Sky and F2P have adopted a 'pay per play per game' policy I think is very odd. A code which unlocked all the games, or which worked for a certain amount of time I would have thought would be more popular and make them more money.
F2P has got to be one of the worst things on FREEVIEW (Yes - even worse that TV Travel Shop). I would never ever call up just for some stupid code to play a very silly game. Anyway, after playing the free levels, I'm bored, so like hell I'm going to phone up for a silly code.
Also, the other day when playing a free level of darts while listening to Magic, at the end of the game, the radio just stopped, and the screen went green. I had to reset my poor old ITV Digital Box. So if their silly F2P thing keeps crashing my box, its unlikely that I would be interested in phoning up their silly number and paying £1 for the privilege!
I just hope less and less people fall into their trap, and phone them up, then hopefully the F2P big wigs might get their act together, if not then hopefully they’ll shove off the platform altogether!

Actually, fivequid2play gives you a code which unlocks the game for three days.
