[Update] 54 awesome Cyber Monday iOS and Android bargains
Update reason: Loads more titles added
We've moved on from Monday and our regularly scheduled sales list has slipped into something a little more comfortable in time for Cyber Monday to kick off today. As well as those cracking games from last week, we've got titles like Grimvalor, Reigns: Game of Thrones, Radiant One, and plenty more going cheaper.
Why should you care? Because these games are good and their price points are slightly easier on your wallets for the time being. If you're looking for a new adventure or adorable time-killer to jump into, have a look at these.

Final Fantasy Tactics
- Platform: iOS
iPad and iPhone-users, you're in for a treat today as Final Fantasy Tactics drops in price on both formats. As a turn-based tactical RPG, you command individual pieces like those in a board game and explore a rich storyline branching off of the original storyline from Final Fantasy Tactics. Bear in mind that the links below are for the same game, but for different devices – in other words, don't buy the iPad version if you've got an iPhone and vice-versa. It'll also be going on sale on Android tomorrow, so I'll update things then.
- FFT (iPad) - £4.99/$4.99
- FFT (iPhone) - £3.99/$3.99
