Well, I’ll be. This week just keeps getting better. Moments ago not one but two different Halo games hit the App Store. Halo: Spartan Assault ($2.99) and Halo: Spartan Strike ($2.99) are now available for download on the App Store. Each feature 30 levels of Halo-y gameplay, and it’s a little weird they’re not just one app because of how similar they both seem. We got a hands on of the game at E3, back when it was locked away in the Windows exclusivity prison:

So, yeah, you can now officially say you can play Halo on your iPhone. Who ever thought that would happen? It’s up there on the overall level of craziness with Nintendo games coming to iOS, but, hey, here we are. These games just hit, and we’re downloading them both now. Hop into the forum threads for Spartan Assault and Spartan Strike as first impressions inevitably start rolling in.

There’s a bundle too if you want to get both games and save $2.

      A similar deal on the app itself and they'd have me. Hint hint!

      Instabuy for me. Now if only Days of Wonder would offer similar bundle for Ticket to Ride and Small World. 😉

        I would settle for DoW just updating Ticket to Ride.

      Dammit, and I bough some of the expansions a few months ago...

      Coding monkeys only does the iOS version of Carcassonne. The android version is by a different developer.

      They announced a Mac version today.

      It's sad that 5 years later other board game developers can't implement the smooth asynchronous gameplay that carcassone offers. The production quality of this game is what keeps me playing it after all of these years.

      So, $15 for the game with the bundled extras? I have never played this game, but someone gave me a used board game version. I am intrigued.

        Well, I bought the game but I can't seem to get the expansions... I hit the buy button and all I get is a spinning wheel. And, LOL, just as I type this I got the IAP of India from Apple to accept the purchase.... I hope it is fun. This is the most I ever spent on an iOS game.

      India?.".
