Worms burrowing into XBL

Team 17's wriggly critters infesting Xbox Live Arcade next Wednesday; strategy/action blend to cost $10.

It wasn't a question of if, but rather, when. The Xbox Live Arcade version of Worms is finally squirming onto the Xbox 360 next Wednesday. The game was officially announced in late January, along with a slate of nine others.

The Worms franchise has been around for more than a decade and has appeared on several platforms in different genres. The Xbox 360 version will feature turn-based strategy as players attempt to eliminate their opponents' worms with goofy weapons. The game will include a single-player campaign as well as multiplayer support for up to four players locally or over Xbox Live.

Worms is rated E10+ and will cost 800 Microsoft points ($10). The game will be available at 1 a.m. PST on March 7.

man, i remember playing the first one on pc many years ago. such a great bit of nostalgia, and i'm glad it's still around. hopefully it's still as fun and addictive this time around.

kakarote22 : man and you waste your time replying to trolls ? If the game comes to PSN or what they call that site (yeas it's a normal site, not an integrated service such as XBL) it would be bestest of all to this guy.

At least they aren't wasting their time on another 3d attempt. I really hated seeing that my Worms love going down the toilet. Long live worms!

Nice, I can't wait to play it. I'm shocked that it's only going to support 4 players though. I was hoping for at least 8. But you can't get everything you wish for. :)

Worms must never Die! This game is a great simple game that almost anyone can enjoy.... if IGN says this game should die then to me all of their reviews are void. The price is a little high though. Its a classic and should have a classic price. 400 points I say!

Yeah. I like the game, but I don't like the price. Also, I don't like paying $20 for just 1600 MS points.

I didn't like the 3D versions too much. This one should be better. I'm still gonna check the demo to be on the safe side.

Yay, another XBLA game from well-known and received series with a big name that actually has substance. Not another shallow and boring webgame.

All the worms games OWN unless they're 3D or on the DS. Lol.. hopefully they'll keep some of their better content in this game such as random map generators, team creations, and oh yes... the awesome weapons. :) *Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallelujah!!!! *BOOM*
