The top 10 Thanksgiving mobile games

Heyzap has put together a list of the top 10 Thanksgiving-themed mobile games in case you want to get into the holiday spirit and download the games for your phone.

The list includes both Google Android and Apple (iOS) games for smartphones and tablets. It starts with Pretty Pet Tycoon from Animoca, a free game for both platforms that allows you to build up a farming empire. You can become the world’s top fruit-seller in this game, a sequel to Pretty Pet Salon.

The No. 2 game from Ezone.com is more obviously a Thanksgiving themed title, as it enables you to hunt your own cartoon turkey.

The other games include familiar titles such as Madden NFL 12 from Electronic Arts ($4.99), as football is an American turkey day tradition. And at No. 4 is Angry Birds from Rovio, whose smash hit game is probably playable 365 days a year, including Thanksgiving.
