Just after the Fire TV (FTV) was released (Apr 2014), I started downloading free apps that were FTV specific only, even though I didn't have a FTV. I figured one day I'll be glad I did. Well, that day has arrived now that I've ordered a Fire TV Stick (FTVS). The website I use to get the heads up on free apps is -- AFTVnews. It used to be known as fireTVnews, but Amazon slapped it down last Jul. Anyway, this blog is full of cool info about the Fire TV.

BTW, this FTV compatible app is currently free -- BombSquad. It's normally $4.99 according to AFTVnews. It has a 4.8 rating. No idea how long it'll remain free.

You are probably already aware of this, but I figured I would mention it anyway. Games like the "BombSquad" freebie you posted require either the $40 amazon game controller or at the very least the "voice controlled" remote that comes with the Fire TV. I don't think the "non-voice controlled" remote that comes with the Fire Stick will work. (and I can't really image any remote providing a good game experience).
