I know I know, how can you possibly contain yourself, but hey, it’s still good news for any avid gamer who wishes their Pocket PC was more than a lump of plastic with a pretty screen that only gets it’s workout when you’re adding your next dinner date into your calender. So rev up that hot little pocket rocket cause Aspyr Media has announced that Call of Duty 2 Pocket PC Edition has gone gold and will be available via direct download and at retail stores by the end of January.

Those of you lucky enough to own a modern pocket PC (like the Dell Axim x51v, Pocket Loox 720 or HP iPAQ h2210 for instance) will be happy to hear about Medieval, a new “Warcraft III clone” that is being ported to mobile devices by a handful of German programmers with lots of time on their hands. Though it looks to be more of a Warcraft II clone, I’m wondering how Blizzard will react if/when this comes to their attention, seeing as how copyright-conscious the Bliz are when it comes to their original IP. Medieval is currently available as an early alpha build for pocket PC mobile devices.

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.
