Nokia’s celebrating the release of its two newest games on the Ovi Store, Ovi Maps Challenge and Bounce Boing Battle, by having a sale on some of its most popular titles.

This includes the intriguing Ovi Maps Racing, a racer that takes the backdrop of real-life locations using Maps to create top-down race courses. It’s been free before in an earlier promotion, but if you haven’t checked it out yet now is probably the time to.

As far as the two new titles are concerned, Ovi Maps Challenge is far more traditional a game format than Racing, taking the form of a geography quiz about various aspects of the world.

Bounce Boing Battle, on the other hand, is a two-player line-drawing game that involves sketching out walls for the ball to rebound from into the opponent's goal (located on their screen).

The full list of titles now available for free:
