GamesRadar: Worms: Battle Islands Review

GamesRadar: "If you've played a Worms game in the last 15 years, then you've played Worms: Battle Islands. Battle Islands offers a few incremental updates to the classic Worms formula, but the core experience remains unchanged. You still have a team of Worms that you take into battle on destructible terrain. You still take turns blasting each other with ridiculous and cartoonish weapons, and the worms still spit out high-pitched quips; some of which are funny, some of which are duds (like the worms that sound like a tiny George W Bush)."

Definitely checking out OlliOlli

TheDarpaChief3746d ago

japan just got dust 514....lol

Knushwood Butt3746d ago

It's been out for a while in Japan.

TheDarpaChief3745d ago

look at the website for japan (new to)

Knushwood Butt3745d ago

The information in the link that this article refers to is wrong.

Dust 514 came out in Japan ages ago.

What was released in Japan yesterday was just some additional item stuff.

If you don't believe me, and would rather believe anything you read on teh Internetz, then OK, but anyone with a JPN PSN account can confirm that it came out ages ago.

FRAKISTAN3746d ago

hey guys when is the EU Feb PS+ update coming? any news about what we will get? Bioshock infinite i hope

PlayStation Plus: Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons for Members

Posted by Kristine Steimer // Sr. Community Specialist -

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons was praised by game critics last year for its successful meshing of story and gameplay. Controlling the two brothers of the story with one analog stick each can take some getting used to, but you’ll find your rhythm as you solve puzzles with the end goal of saving your ailing father.

Y'know, with PS4 released and PS+ Mandatory to play online now, i assumed the quality of PS+ support would slowly diminish and they would just coast along.

It's been the exact opposite.PS+ is just getting better and better.Can't wait for this one.

GarrusVakarian3747d ago (Edited 3747d ago )

Damn, is this US only? I really wanted to play this game too :(

Wow......just LOOK at that PS plus collection on PS3.....ridiculous value.

thorstein3747d ago

Exactly. I went on to get download a different game and DMC was sitting there undownloaded! Free for me.

Can't wait for Two Brothers.

Don't Starve is fun.

Lord_Sloth3747d ago

I know! Being short on cash doesn't mean I stop getting new games to play!

Vanna3747d ago

The value is incredible, something you do not really appreciate as much until you join what with sales reductions for members ontop of some amazing titles you would might of never considered.

I'm a avid gamer but busy lady and struggle to get through so many great deals on ps+

A great reason to keep hold of your ps3 still as well :p

NukaCola3747d ago

So excited to play 2 Bros. It kind of went under the radar but I still had my eye on it. Rev3 gave it a ton of praise which is where i first heard of it.Super glad it's finally coming to Playstation.

Denethor_II3747d ago

"Wow......just LOOK at that PS plus collection on PS3.....ridiculous value."

Yeah but Xbox live has cross chat......

vickers5003747d ago

Very much so. They certainly saved me some money this month.

I was almost considering purchasing the new DmC at some point, maybe if it had hit 10-15 dollars, I thought hey, maybe it's not as bad as I think it will be and that I was overreacting a little bit, and that just maybe, while it might not be a good devil may cry game, it might be a good game in it's own right.

I was wrong. An hour playing that game with one of the most obnoxious, d-bag characters I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing in a video game, and I quit the game, and wiped that piece of crap off my hard drive forever. I almost made the mistake of buying it. But thanks to ps+, that didn't happen. Value indeed (no sarcasm).

I'm torn on if i should pick up THE WALKING DEAD: FIRST SEASON for the vita, with their current sale it is $5.

but its like 2.3GB

and i have a feeling it could show up in the IGC soon too :/

uptownsoul3747d ago

tell me about it. I'm thinking about Dishonored and LA Noir (because i didn't play them) but i'm thinking both are ripe to be on PS+

djplonker3747d ago

go for it one of the best games last gen if you ask me!

sony (eu) said they would aviod doing sales on games that will appear on igc anytime soon I assume it will be the same for na!

ziggurcat3747d ago

that game is a steal @ $5. i would seriously consider paying the money rather than waiting for it to maybe show up on IGC.

Flipgeneral3747d ago

Yeah. I'm genuinely impressed.

Not to mention the additional discounts on sales. $7 for puppeteer please!

Lovable3747d ago

The value in this service is amazing!

Perjoss3747d ago

Brothers was easily in my top 5 games for 2013, a true masterpiece.

Death3747d ago

Nice. Worms: Battle Islands is available free also on the PSP/Vita.

djplonker3747d ago

next month for eu users (na people can joim the eu ps plus)

bioshock infinite

metro 2033

outlast

lbp racing

dynasty warriors next

for £4/$7

GarrusVakarian3747d ago

"metro 2033 "

Nice, I'll definitely fire up the PS3 to play that.

Ducky3747d ago

Are you saying that as a joke because Metro 2033 doesn't have a PS3 version...

... or are you both confusing it with the sequel, Last Light?

djplonker3747d ago

You are right ducky sorry!

in my head the first was called metro and the second I thought was metro 2033 my bad!

GarrusVakarian3747d ago

@Ducky

Damn, yeah i got confused with Last Light.

Ricegum3747d ago

That's ridiculous. I actually have way too much to play now thanks to PS+. I keep switching between Don't Starve on PS4 to Borderlands 2 and DMC on PS3, and now this? I already have about 10 games on my hard drive that I haven't had to chance to play. Amazing Value.

Silly gameAr3747d ago (Edited 3747d ago )

I hope we get Metro Last Light in NA. That would be awesome.

Skate-AK3747d ago

Awesome game. Got it back on day one.

PlayStation Plus: January Preview

It’s almost time for the New Year, and we’re ready to kick-off 2014 in a big way. January’s Instant Game Collection will offer PlayStation Plus members loads of amazing titles, starting off with a new PlayStation 4 title — Don’t Starve. A wilderness survival game wrapped in a cute art style, you’ll take control of a Gentleman Scientist trying to make his way home from a mysterious place. Be warned – this is one of those games where you’ll die a lot, but if you ever get frustrated, just look at how cute your buddy Chester is and I’m sure everything will be okay.

And 2014 starts off with a bang!

rambi803772d ago

i hope brothers comes first. plus is the best!

ExPresident3772d ago

Bioshock Infinite for PS3 is pretty huge. I got rid of my PS3 when I upgraded to the PS4.

blackblades3772d ago

A stupid choice you made there.

nutcase133772d ago

Why is that a stupid choice (genuine question), i also got rid of mine?

Kryptix3772d ago (Edited 3772d ago )

@nutcase13
I think he means that the PS3 will still get a lot of support for another year or 2, especially with PS Plus still giving out great games after the release of the PS4.

It's more of a stupid choice if you have time to commit to playing those games unless you only got time for one console then the PS4 would be the choice.

Sevir3772d ago

It's pretty stupid because the machine will still very much be supported. Sony already confirmed that more exclusives are coming to ps3 this year. Also considering that the PS4 games haven't gotten it's star games yet. Yes ps4 has some games worth playing but hardly worth selling your PS3 for. If all PS+ is now delivering serious games.

ExPresident3772d ago

Wasn't stupid for me. My statement was for those who either consider getting PS+ and haven't yet, or just simply to show how good the program is. I've been a PS+ subscriber since the day it became available and I love it.

I don't have time for consoles, let alone to game as much as I would like throughout the week. Upgrading to the PS4 was a big deal for me because of what I wanted to play, and while I will miss the current opportunity to play some games, the PS3 would have just been laying around the house.

To each his own, just noting its a great thing for current PS3 owners.

badz1493772d ago

why get rid of the PS3? the PS4 is still incomplete and while the PS3 still pretty much THE BEST multimedia box on the market!

games are still coming and unless you've played ALL the 70+ rated games last gen, PS+ will always have games to offer your PS3 in the coming years!

if you have a Vita, you can use the PS3 as storage for your games you got from PS+ or bought digitally as the memory card is still expensive and games are coming continuously.

I don't know why would anyone just dis their PS3 straight away.

My_precious3772d ago (Edited 3772d ago )

back then i get PS+ just because i'm enjoy the auto update feature and backup store, i kind of lazy ppl so i just want to let my PS3 hanlde all update itself

then before i even realize the games keep coming, lol, belive me, i lost count of how many digital game i have in my digital libary, but who care right, especially when you don't even have time to deal with your backlog

CrashJones3772d ago (Edited 3772d ago )

@ ExPresident & nutcase13

I dunno if I would have worded it as blackblades did, but the PS3's will be a valid console for at least another 2 years.

Seeing as the PS4's are not backwards compatible, then the lifespan is indefinate for the PS3's really. The 2 years though, there will be games still being made for only for those consoles(although they may be ported to PS4 later).

For example, Dark Souls 2, which is maybe my most anticipated title isn't even coming to PS4... as of yet anyhow.

Some DLC is still to come for the PS3 as well, like "The Last of Us"

To say it was a stupid choice is jumping the gun, as no one knows your situation but you. Perhaps you have no interest in any of the things I just mentioned. TO each their own.

A good example of a "port" coming to PS4 in January is Tomb Raider. I will pick it up(at full price), because I know it's a good game, and I never played it at all on PS3(so many titles back logged I never got around to buying it).

On a different note(which is the actual topic)... I'm really liking the PS+ membership, as I didn't have it until I got my PS4. Some nice titles in my library already... with more to come.

For BOTH systems. The more the merrier!!!

Merry Christmas all!

wsoutlaw873772d ago

Im thinking about selling mine. I want a new phone and dint want to pay for it. My ps4 has games that keep me busy with more coming. I havent even played ac:bf yet. Dark souls and the last of us is the only reason i havent yet. Im not sure if dlc is worth it but demons souls and dark souls are my favorites. I am very sceptical about the game being as good though and dont see any reason they wont do a port.

CrashJones3771d ago

Remember who's developing Dark... also, so many people will be putting thousands of hours into the PS3/360/PC versions.

That aside, I wouldn't be shocked to see it come out for PS4. Maybe a little surprised, but far from shocked.

Being such a fan, I would probably pick it up. Hopefully though we could just upgrade if we own the original(ala AC4)... if it even happens.

I'm just happy Dark Souls 2 is getting closer.

ExPresident3772d ago

Yeah I think he jumped the gun, or just used a poor word. Keeping my PS3 wasn't a real option for me as I just don't have a lot of time to game. I knew why I was getting the PS4 and what I would be playing on it before I got it.

My comment was to note how awesome it is that a game like Bioshock Infinite was included with PS+.

CrashJones3771d ago

I already own Infinate, but I will be getting Brothers and Don't Starve for sure.

I'm amazed at the value they give for the buck, and the fact you can get your library back when you return to + if you leave for a while, is cool as well.

Seems to be an improved online experience from what I've heard(PS4 compared to PS3). I can't compare personally, but I've been having fun with it. It's better then having no sub that's for sure.

TM3333772d ago

I'm living off PSPlus with PS3, PS4, and PSVita. Too many games. Don't even want any more systems. Plus, gotta give my PC a little lovin from time to time.
