Every day hundreds of new apps make their debut on the App Store, and hundreds more are updated or reduced in price. We have sifted through the noise and highlighted those select few that might be worth your attention.
Game Debuts
Razor: Salvation – ($0.99)
Crescent Moon’s promising 3D mech shooter is out now for a special introductory price.
Plague Inc. – ($0.99)
Plague Inc. might just be the most full-featured “pandemic sim” released yet. Gamers first design their custom virus using a puzzle-style minigame, then spread it around the globe by keeping an eye on the political (and literal) climate. 
Pixel Breaker – (Free)
Pixel Breaker takes classic brick breaker gameplay and wraps it in a retro skin. The game is a free download, with an optional $0.99 in-app purchase removing all in-game ads. 
Price Drops
Sid Meier’s Pirates! – ($0.99)
The iPhone version of this modern pirate sim is on sale for just $0.99 for a limited time. For a little perspective, I paid $40 for this exact same game on Xbox just eight years ago! The iPad version is also on sale for $1.99. 
NBA 2K12 – ($1.99)
2K Sports’ NBA 2K12 for iPad normally sells for $9.99. Gamers can now grab it for 80% off for a limited time. 
Cat Physics – (Free)
Donut Games is giving away three games free-of-charge for a limited time. Cat Physics is by far the best of the bunch. It’s one of the most underrated physics puzzlers on the App Store, so don’t miss it! 
Jungle Crash Land – (Free)
Donut’s arcade bomb-dropper is also available free. Clear all the obstacles on the ground to create a makeshift runway for your crashing plane. 
Jailhouse Jack – (Free)
The last of Donut’s trio of freebies is probably the weakest of the bunch, but it’s still enjoyable. In Jailhouse Jack gamers are tasked with creating their own jailbreak movie by scrubbing through time to ensure the escape goes off without a hitch. 
Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space Ep 1 – (Free)
The first episode of this excellent season of Sam & Max is now available 100% free. Episodes 2 – 5 are also on sale for $2.99. This means the entire season can be grabbed for $12 instead of $25. Nice! 
Bookworm – ($0.99)
Popcap’s classic arcade word puzzler is just $0.99 for a limited time. 
Updates
Civilization Revolution for iPad
Ten new scenarios, new leaderboards and new achievements have all been added to 2K’s excellent 4X strategy title. 
The Bard’s Tale
The iOS port of inXile’s modern-day Bard’s Tale previously included two thirds of the Bard’s Tale trilogy. Today’s update adds 1998's Bard’s Tale III: Thief of Fate, completing the classic trilogy. By Grabthar’s Hammer… what a savings.
