Austrian publisher JoWooD has announced the launch of the homepage for The Mark, their upcoming first-person shooter developed by Greek developer Track7Games. An action/espionage thriller which takes the player on a fight against terrorists wanting to blow up London with a nuclear bomb, The Mark features a vast storyline mission which allows the player to change characters at the start of every chapter and of course, multiplayer deathmatch and capture the flag modes.

Gothic 3, the revered RPG from European developer Piranha Bytes and publisher JoWooD is finally out and from all I’ve been hearing, is selling like hotcakes. Nevermind that it was a totally rushed release, is buggy as hell and JoWooD’s marketing department still writes their press releases like a 14 year old kid at a LAN party hopped up on Red Bull. No no, we jest, we like the look of Gothic 3 and we really hope it helps JoWooD out of the hole it continually digs for itself. One of my favorite scenes so far from Gothic 3 though has to be the already infamous boars from hell. These little guys are brutal, sometimes causing the player to fall into an infinite death loop, or wreaking havoc on multiple NPCs at one time.

Watch Gothic 3′s boars from hell after the jump (for as long as the YouTube link lasts)..

JoWooD announced this morning that they will be teaming up with VeriSign to develop “wildly popular” games to mobile platforms around the world. No details yet on what titles we’ll be seeing, but, they have gone so far as to say that they will be creating titles unique to mobile gaming. Judging on the past performance of JoWooD’s horrid marketing department, this isn’t saying very much since there’s not a press release they issue that doesn’t make me cringe. I for one would hope to see JoWooD try and push some limits, rather than pulling over the usual casual puzzle crap that would be sure sellers and seeing as how JoWooD really needs to regain some of it’s past sparkle and shine, now would be a great time for them to take some real risks. A Gothic or Spellforce mobile multi-player? Now that would be something exciting and unique.
