Fake Halo 4 for iOS gets Approved in the App Store

Looks like there's a new scam in the App Store, as surprisingly we found out a Halo 4 for iOS claiming to be the full game and showing screenshots that belong to the Xbox version (unless somehow someone has managed to put a B button and "arrow" buttons on the iPhone without us noticing it.

And although the price is for a triple-A game (4,49€), you'd be hard pressed to find a developer good enough to cram such a game into mere 6.6MB as this App does.

Also strangely enough, there are over 100 seemingly fake ratings, saying this is the best game ever, etc. etc.

And last but not least, although they to mention a 343 Industries Copyright, the App is actually made by an unknown developer "Hoan Tran" pointing to a very suspicious web site completely unrelated to any official Halo site.

So... keep you money away from this App... and we'll be waiting to see how Apple explains how such a blatant ripoff has made all the way through the supposedly "strict" App Store approval process.

Didn't anyone at Apple think that a Halo 4 for iOS popping up from a complete stranger developer should raise some cause for concern?

The full game description in the App Store follows:

Halo 4 for iPhone/iPad is the fourth installment in the Halo series where Master Chief returns to battle an ancient evil bent on vengeance and annihilation.

This version is iPhone/iPad exlcusive.
