App Store Update: May 7
<LINK REL="stylesheet" HREF="http://guidesmedia.ign.com/guides/uni/IGNE_style.css" TYPE="text/css">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. <br/><br/><DIV CLASS="IGNE_header">Game Debuts</DIV><br/><br/><b>Empire Defense II – ($1.99)</b><br/><br/>Empire Defense II looks like yet another solid iOS tower defense title. This one comes from Chinese studio Goodteam.<br/><br/><img src="http://wirelessmedia.ign.com/wireless/image/article/122/1224453/app-store-update-may-7-20120507114127403.jpg" /><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><a target="_blank" href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=4ArfrXDXCmE&subid=&offerid=146261.1&type=10&tmpid=3909&u1=iASU050712&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fapp%2Fempire-defense-ii%2Fid522008813%3Fmt%3D8" target="_blank"><img src="http://media.ignimgs.com/media/ign/imgs/gamestop/mobile_dl_inline_red.png"></a><br/><br/><DIV CLASS="IGNE_header">Price Drops</DIV><br/><br/><b>Luxor Evolved – ($0.99)</b><br/><br/>Mumbo Jumbo launched Luxor Evolved for $6.99 earlier this month, then promptly dropped the price to $4.99, and finally $2.99. Now the title has been discounted even further, to just $0.99. Not a nice move for early adopters, but at $0.99 the retro neon remake should be very hard to pass up. <br/><br/> <object id="vid_de30c1595462b6d2c152aa1339aca5dd" class="ign-videoplayer" width="468" height="293" data="http://oystatic.ignimgs.com/src/core/swf/IGNPlayer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="movie" value="http://oystatic.ignimgs.com/src/core/swf/IGNPlayer.swf"/><param name="" value="true"/><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"/><param name="flashvars" value="url=http://www.ign.com/videos/2012/05/01/luxor-evolved-heavenly-shards-gameplay"/><param name="wmode" value="opaque"/></object> <br/><br/><a target="_blank" href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=4ArfrXDXCmE&subid=&offerid=146261.1&type=10&tmpid=3909&u1=iASU050712&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fapp%2Fluxor-evolved-hd-full%2Fid514363764%3Fmt%3D8" target="_blank"><img src="http://media.ignimgs.com/media/ign/imgs/gamestop/mobile_dl_inline_red.png"></a><br/><br/><hr><br/><br/><b>League of Evil – ($0.99)</b><br/><br/>Ravenous Games' award-winning 2D platformer is once again on sale for just $0.99.
