We've been big fans of Call of Duty: World at War's Zombie mode since it was released.  We've always said, time and time again, that the four player co-op game should have had a stand alone release on the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.  While we're still waiting for that day, we do have the next best thing - a portable iPhone/iPod Touch version with included ONLINE and local cooperative play.

Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies includes three control options including dual stick, tilt and swipe look.  It's not the most ideal method of playing, but it appears to work.  As we've said there's built in online matchmaking included for four player, though there's no way to communicate with your teammates.  

Only one map is included, which looks to be based off the original Nacht der Untoten map in the full game.  Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies it out now for the iPhone/iPod touch and will set you back $9.99.

id's timeless classic DOOM game has found it's way onto another platform, the iPhone/iPod Touch.  I believe this makes it the game's 4,371st different platform - including the calculator, handheld, console, downloadable, web, java, and toaster based versions.

The iPhone version  includes four episodes: "Knee-deep in the Dead," "Shores of Hell," "Inferno" and "Thy Flesh Consumed."  There's multiple control configurations, custom soundtrack support and quick save options, but the best part is the game supports four player co-op via local wi-fi play.

The game will set you back $6.99, which isn't too shabby for a full featured version of the game.  If you're looking for another excuse to pick up DOOM, this is probably it.

The Rock Band iPhone app has been released, and is priced at $10.  That may seem a bit steep for a iPhone app, but since the game includes twenty songs, that's actually a decent deal for the music alone. 

Four player co-op is supported via Bluetooth.  The game is controlled by tapping the screen, which I'm sure feels more like drumming than strummng.  Oddly enough, even singing is controlled the same way.  That could be good or bad, depending on the quality of your co-op partner's voice.  Song packs are also available, coming at the price of two songs for a buck.

Music games are great fun, so it's only natural that folks want to play them on the go.  Previous efforts haven't exactly been strong in the co-op aspect, either implementing it poorly (Guitar Hero: On Tour) or eliminating it entirely (Rock Band Unplugged).  That trend looks to change with Rock Band for iPhone and iPod Touch.

Using the bluetooth capabilities of the iPhone, up to four players can rock out together, on drums, guitar, bass, or vocals.  Twenty songs will be included with the app, which is scheduled to be released sometime this month.  More songs, naturally, will be available for download in-game.  If I had an iPhone, I'd be all over this app.  (Curse you lousy AT&T coverage in my area!)

Classic co-op game Doom is coming to the iPhone next week, though the version is actually based on the Doom III game.  Titled Doom: Resurrection, the game is rebuilt from Doom III assets and code - no small feat.  

Sadly the game is going to miss a core feature that's been a staple of all Doom games, co-op.
