Technically this is the game they should have released the first time around, but I love worms and I'll probably pay the money again.

To all those have never played Worms before at least try the demo.

Oh god this plus lots of DLC support would make me a VERY happy Worms fan.

Wasnt impressed by the first worms on XBLA, this looks and sounds perfect though, definite purchase for me.
Posted by ensabahnur
still play the first one nearly every week, but does it warrant another purchase just for some more landscapes, weapons and the holy hand grenade (of Antioch? Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem?)?
probably :lol:

On second thought, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.

Yes, it is a good shrubbery. I like the laurels particularly. But there is one small problem....
We are now *no longer* the Knights Who Say "Ni"! We are now the Knights who say "Ekky-ekky-ekky-ekky-z'Bang,zoom-Boing, z'nourrrwringmm".
