Short on cash? Fear not. I've rounded up five (actually, six) entertaining games for the iPhone and iPod Touch, all of them discounted by at least 40 percent.

Nothing beats a good iPhone game when you've got five minutes to kill (or pummel, as it were).
Much as I love freebies, sometimes you have to pony up to get the games you want. Fortunately, even the top titles occasionally go on sale, as with these five gems:
- Fist of Fury Boxing: Normally $4.99, this Nintendo 64-style slugfest is on sale for just 99 cents.
- Galaga Remix: Includes both the original arcade classic and the amped-up "remix" version, which features power-ups, boss fights, and the like. It's on sale for $2.99, normally $5.99. Same goes for Dig Dug Remix.
- Metal Gear Solid Touch: Marked down to $2.99 from $7.99, the console classic is widely regarded as one of the top iPhone shooters.
- Moto X Mayhem: This motocross-inspired take on the classic Bike or Die relies heavily on accelerometer controls and features an online leaderboard. It's now 99 cents (down a buck).
- NFL 2010: Save three bucks on this Madden-style football sim, currently on sale for $4.99.
Have you found any good sales lately? Civilization for $4.99 was hard to beat, but it's back up to $9.99 (rats). Share your favorite game deals in the comments.
