Welcome to Android Central! It sounds like you may have inadvertently installed some malware, probably alongside one of the other games you installed. Have you been installing only from Google Play Store, or have you been getting them from other sources? If you install from sources besides the Play Store (especially if you're downloading random apk files from websites), you're at more risk for malware.

Try uninstalling your apps one by one until the problem goes away. If it's malware, though, you might have to do a factory reset and choose not to restore the phone, so that you start from scratch.
