Looks like EA Mobile has put a slew of games on sale for the holiday. Even their new Need for Speed Drift has had a price drop.  I’m still waiting for Monopoly and Need for Speed Undercover to drop down to a reasonable price, but there’s still plenty to choose from the list below. Drift might be calling my name before too much longer.

If you’re looking for a cool Boggle style game then this is it. I grabbed this game the last time it went on sale for $0.99 and have played it for hours. Unlike other games you can set the board in different sizes up to 8×8. It’s a great game and lots of fun.

Word Shaker is a word searching game with a twist: words don’t have to be in a straight line. Your goal is to earn the most points by finding words in a grid. Each letter has a particular point value, and you earn bonuses by forming longer words.

If you get stuck, just shake your device to shuffle the letters!

WHAT THEY SAY
If a Tower Defense game had babies with Warcraft and Diablo 2, it would be called: Defender Chronicles. iTunes US Review

After 50 or so reviews, I have struck gold. My first 5 star rating goes to Defender Chronicles. The game reminds me of Puzzle Quest, when it comes to being addictive and getting stuck in my mind. I have played this for more than 20 hours already. 5 out of 5 iPhoneGameNetwork

I am level 222 and have spent over 100 hours since I bought the game last month and Im still playing! – Defender Chronicles forumer

Defender Chronicles Its better than Percocet. It pretty much got me through my 3-day appendectomy stay in the hospital last month and made me forget the pain the way Percocet couldnt. – Macenstein.com
