Time to get that titanium steel case because things on iPhone and iPad are about to get rough. EA is offering up its most intense iOS games for some seriously reduced prices. With discounts of up to 80%, we think this Hardcore Sale is, well, pretty hardcore.

EA has consistently set the bar in bringing the quality and depth of a core gaming experience to mobile with critically acclaimed blockbusters like Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Dead Space, the 2011 Meffy Award Winner for “Best Mobile Game”. This weekend, look for the prices on these two titles for iPhone and iPad to take big hits.

You’ll also find deals on our other biggest, baddest games on the App Store. Look for Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Command & Conquer Red Alert, Fight Night Champion and many more hardcore games for hardcore gamers on sale – this weekend only.

Who said mobile gaming was for noobs?
