Full Marathon trilogy now available on iOS
The original Marathon has been free ever since it debuted on iOS, leading the way for Marathon 2: Durandal to launch last December, also as a free app. Now the final game in the Marathon trilogy, Marathon Infinity, is available on iOS.Marathon Infinity also debuts on iOS as a free universal app for both iPad and iPhone/iPod Touch devices. Marathon Infinity is a lot like the other two Marathon games on iOS: you get the full original game, but if you want higher-resolution graphics you can pony up two bucks.
Bungie fan porting Marathon to iPad, Marathon Infinity going open source
Daniel Blezek has been working on an iPad port of Bungie's nearly 20-year-old franchise for quite some time now -- more or less since the iPad launched in January of 2010, he says. Years of perseverance, a loving family, and some basic technical chops allowed Blezek to complete the port recently. Bungie and Blezek expect it to arrive on the App Store any minute, pending Apple approval, for the low, low price of zero dollars. If that weren't enough, Bungie has released the final game of the Marathon trilogy, Infinity, to the open source community, meaning it's likely to be included in the iPad App. Between the release of an iOS App recently and Marathon this week, it looks as though Bungie's support for the iOS platform is really up and running.
