Game Debuts

Shadowrun Returns – ($9.99)
After a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign finished with over 450% funding this past April, the revival of the Shadowrun franchise was assured. Shadowrun Returns then went on sale in PC form a few months ago, and we reviewed that version here. Now, the game has come to iOS devices as well! Grab your copy from the App Store (if you didn't already secure a download code by pitching in during the fundraiser).

Crazy Chicken: Pirates – ($0.99)
A foul band of fowl pirates have invaded the Caribbean, and it's up to you to snipe them from a distance:

Fading Fairytales – (Freemium)
Fairytale characters like Robin Hood, Little Red Riding Hood (I wonder if they're related?) and Pinnochio come together in a cross-over RPG.

Drop That Candy – ($2.99)
Physics causes your candy treats to tumble, and you tap them out of existence when they hit another confection of the same color:

Meadowland – ($2.99)
Play as a fairy on a trip of casual exploration through a land of magic:

Pocket Trains – (Freemium)
From the makers of Pocket Planes and Tiny Tower, this time your little pixel people are riding the rails:

T.E.C 3001 – ($0.99)

Price Drops

Spy vs. Spy – ($0.99)
It's been over a year since we last featured this one, ack! Spy vs. Spy is a brilliant revival of the classics Black-hunts-White-and-vice-versa game design from decades ago, and it quickly claimed the #1 sales position in the Store when it launched in Summer 2012. Now it's on sale again. Grab it now, if you didn't last year!

Updates

Limbo – ($4.99)
One of the key points of praise in our review of this iOS port of Limbo was that it did touch screen controls so well. Still, there are certainly some out there who'd prefer a button-directed experience. Version 1.1 has now gone live for the game, and it adds support for iOS 7 game controllers.
