Team17 have announced that they will be conducting a limited closed beta programme for the PS3 version of Worms 2: Armageddon, to commence on March 1st 2010. Specifically, the beta will be focused upon network performance, and will not be offering any Singleplayer content.
The beta version of the game is for European residents only and will consist of the entire wealth of options that the game offers for Multiplayer. Team17 is unlocking all worm customisations, weapons and game modes for you to play with online against fellow Beta participants.
Dave writes: "Being a bit of an old-timer, I remember the launch of Worms. As an owner of an Atari ST, I’d read all of the Amiga magazines simply because games would hit the Amiga first, and our team would get them in due course. There’d be a tinge of envy as I’d make a wishlist of the games to get when they arrived on the ST, and I remember Worms being one of them."
"Team 17 and Evercade are today very proud and excited to announce that the "Worms Collection 1” pack (which includes "Worms", "Worms Armageddon", and "Worms Blast") is coming to the Evercade console in May 2021" - Jonas Ek, TGG.
It looks great although it does have one fundamental flaw - the Evercade is a single player machine and the Worms games are best played in multiplayer.
Having said that, I guess as players tend it in turns you'd just pass the machine around each player
Some Video Game franchises have weapons that are imaginative, unconventional and downright bizarre. This is a good thing. Join us as we investigate nine of the best.
I'm surprised Ratchet & Clank wasn't on the list. Late Saint's Row games, with more imaginative weapons like the Shark gun and the armchair with guns would fit on a part two list as well
I'm not familiar with Ratchet and Clank (not my sort of game) but I'll add it to the list for part two along with Saint's Row. Thanks for the suggestions :-)
look up resistance fall of man from insomniac as well. there were some interesting weapons for that too
@phoenix
Resistance series 100%. Especially the secondary fires. Auger shields, Bullseye tags, Magnum detonator, Rossmore incindiary, then throw a Hedgehog for good measure. By the time I got to R3 they were onto Atomizers and Mutators. Armory speaks for itself.
Thank you to everyone for your excellent suggestions. They have all been added to the list for part two which should be published by the end of the month :-)
cool, i love the worms games.
