We can't imagine what kind of event would spur EA to slash the price on several of its big-name iPhone games -- oh, right. Regardless of motive, Touch Arcade informs us of the sale, which extends through tomorrow. Here are some highlights:

• Command & Conquer: Red Alert [iTunes link]
• FIFA 10 [iTunes link]
• Dragon's Lair [iTunes link]
• Need for Speed: Shift [iTunes link]
• SimCity [iTunes link]
• Battleship [iTunes link]

The good news: lots of iPhone games are only $1. The bad news: none of those games is Mirror's Edge (which is still only available for iPad).
