The Worms franchise has been running for many years now, starting back on the Amiga in 1994 and growing in stature with each future edition. Shoot forward to 2007 and UK outfit Team17 is back on DS with its second effort, Worms: Open Warfare 2, and Cubed³ got the chance to chat about the game in detail with them as well as discuss what the future holds for the franchise...
Electronic Theatre Writes: This being a Sunday, today's weekly feature will be a light-hearted addition, in the form of the widely popular Top Ten list. This week's edition will focus on those after pub treats, online endeavours and social extravaganzas; the Top Ten Multi-Player Games.
i was hoping to see TF2 in there.
One of the best multiplayer games i've played.
Personally i think Valve did better with TF2 then L4D
(both are great games, but i still go back to TF2.. and L4D not so much)
Decent list but there's so many other games that could have been up there like Halo. I still think Sonic 2 is a great multiplayer experience as well.
I think tha halo gmes are brilliant, but top 10? And I don't think sonic 2 evere had a hope in hell, really.
For some reason the site runs sluggish for me every time I visit it, anyway. Monster Hunter did pretty well for not being heavily advertised and pretty much going by word of mouth to reach 10. Kind of makes me wonder could it gain more ground due to the newer edition(s)? Also of course rock band would be up there :)
With 10 titles released in the last 13 years (not including the countless expansion packs and spin-offs), it seems those annelids have more than most in the stamina stakes. Still it could be argued that despite a brief and largely unnoticed foray into 3D, very little has changed or evolved in those years, though that is probably part of the appeal.
Gamebosh:
"If Pac-Man is a distinctly 80's icon of arcade games then Worms was very much an icon of the 90's PC shareware phase. Endless hours could be had simply finding ways to launch full-scale assaults on other teeny tiny worms on the other side of little rocky hills. There have been many incarnations, so it was inevitable that Worms would get the Wii make-over."
