With its ill-advised jump to 3D for the last few PS2 games, the Worms series somehow managed to lose two of its most important selling points - accuracy and charm. Fans of the 2D incarnation can rejoice, as old-school wormage is back for good.
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 :)
They're vicious, malicious and armed to the teeth. Their hatred for each other has never been explained, but it appears deep-seated and never ending. For over twenty years they have sought out new and more creative ways to send each other shuffling off the mortal coil while gamers have sat back and laughed. They are the annelid anti-heroes of Worms, and this is their story.

"If in doubt, buy your parents something you want and reclaim at a later date - a useful mantra handed down from generation to generation. I once bought my sister a CD that will remain nameless for shame purposes, even though she had no flashy machinery to play it on. But I did. So, when I suggested she hand the disc to me and keep the cassette recording I had selflessly made for herself, I was expecting nothing but cooperation. Bloody witch didn't see it like that though, did she? Threw a right strop. Ungrateful. But looking back at my foolish youth of yester-year I can see how much I have changed. She lives in China for a start, so no need to get her anything. Present for sister: tick.
Which all leads us rather nicely into our list of what to buy on PSP this Christmas (yes it does), as feverish shoppers brush up against you, busily bustling for elusive stocking fillers."
Good score. This is the first Worms game I really want to play after Worms World Party. Super Sheep's ready!
now i really am tempted to buy a psp, i loved the first few worms games
World party for the dreamcast was the best.
Worms Armaggedon for PC was amazing. I'm on the verge of getting a PSP, but I'm waiting for something to push me over the edge. The line up of games for PSP is definitly getting better, hopefully we'll see the same thing happen for PS3 soon.
