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

Monkey Island Tales 1 ($4.99)
Making good on its promise, Telltale has released an iPhone and iTouch-compatible version of Monkey Island. More Telltale games that were previously iPad-exclusive will be hitting these smaller screens soon.

Rail Maze Pro ($0.99)
Train-themed action puzzler Rail Maze Pro is now available. Note that although there is a good amount of content included for the first $0.99, In-App Purchases are required to unlock all game content.

Price Drops

Worms ($0.99)
Team17's classic turn-based strategy title Worms is 80% off, to celebrate the release of Worms Crazy Golf. Gamers that haven't experienced the franchise's trademark zaniness now have an excellent reason to jump in.

Alien Space Retro (Free)
This excellent arena shooter is free for today only. Keep in mind that In-App Purchases are still required to unlock Defender Mode and other content.

The Marbians (Free)
Yes, The Marbians is yet another physics action puzzler, but it's worth a download, especially for free. The game is very charming, and received excellent reviews when it was released earlier this year.

Piyo Blocks 2 (Free)
Stylish match-3 puzzle game Piyo Blocks 2 has gone free for the first time in nearly a year.

Rainy Days: A Stella and Sam Adventure (Free)
This kids app, based on the popular TV show and children's book series, is now free for a limited time.

Sword of Fargoal($1.99)
Gamers can save $1 on this great dungeon crawler. It isn't much, but more people need to own this extremely addictive and challenging game.

Action Hero (Free)
Another week means another free game from Donut Games. We haven't played this one, but most of Donut's other titles are solid, so Action Hero is probably worth a look.

Updates

Forever Drive
A variety of important usability tweaks have been added to this soothing procedural racer. Gamers can now report bad tracks, edit existing tracks, and more.

Muffin Knight
A new Sumo Panda playable character has been added.
