Worms is particularly well suited to gaming on the go, especially mid-length journeys on the train or bus. WOW2 has made 30-minute train journeys to Pro-G HQ fly by like the wind. So, whether online Worms floats your boat or it's a nostalgia trip you're after, this is the Worms game to get. At £30, it's a bit pricey for what is essentially something not much different from the last game, but with online play, Worms Open Warfare 2 has to go down as the series' definitive version.
You can also buy new campaign, puzzle and time attack maps, and, best of all, new weapons. Ahh the weapons. For such a basic game, it's amazing how spectacular some of the weapons and explosions can feel. There's not much better than having a grenade land plum in the middle of two enemy worms when you've lobbed it from across the map.
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."
