Generally, no. I was aware of it, but in my experience, the freebies
on offer are usually:

1) already announced loudly elsewhere
2) free-to-play games ("World of Warships") or games that are
essentially little more than front-ends for DLC ("Capcom Arcade
Stadium")
3) only free for limited trial-periods ('free weekend')

YMMV.

Where? I noticed Blue's News doesn't always see them so I e-mail Blue
about them.

It's like playable demos except full games with limited times. There
were a few games that I finished like SuperHot (great game). ;)
