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.
