Team 17 has revealed on its Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Team17-Software-Ltd/64566768063) page some images and details about its double-barrel offering of Worms on PSN and XBLA. With the OFLC outing both games (http://xbox.joystiq.com/2009/02/25/oflc-outs-worms-armageddon-decade-for-xbla/) last week, the studio didn't see the harm in showing off avatar support and vertical levels for the XBLA version, which is now apparently being called Worms 2: Armageddon.

The PSN edition of Worms (http://playstation.joystiq.com/2009/02/06/usk-diagnoses-psn-with-a-severe-case-of-worms/) -- which is an "expanded" port of the original XBLA game -- features "vastly" improved physics and displays in 1080p. We should have hands-on time with both titles at GDC and hopefully get a release window by then.

[Thanks, Benvio]

Worms Armageddon Decade for XBLA and New Worms for PSN, First Screens!

Posted by Russ Frushtick on 03/03 at 11:51 AM
Worms was a smash hit on Xbox Live Arcade, and the only reason we’ve had to wait this long for a sequel is the fact that it was still selling so damn well.
Good news, though, as Team 17 has sent along the very first screenshots for Worms Armageddon Decade, which is exclusive to the 360.
New features include:
- New vertical level mode, play high tall levels as well as wide ones, caves, islands and a wide variety of others.
- Improved phsyics engine for a “more satisfying Worms experience!”
- Hats for extra Worms customization

i loved worms when i was a kid

i hope there is a online mode

I have Worms on my Xbox 360, I love it. But one thing that really annoyed me ... Aimbot. I hate that the computer can pull off near impossible rocket / grenade air attacks from the other side of the map.

Since when do you play a game like Worms against the CPU? This title's only strength is the immersive multiplayer.

[bfd_josh]

sad people like me always play the story mode :), should be a nice title to pick up however, + trophies

[R3D D3V!L]

On Worms, I like to play as all 4 teams. Yes, i'm a sad loner :(

[bfd_josh]

lol ive played 2 teams, im working my way up ;)

[-Deadpool-]

So getting this.

Used to love the Worms games. One my missus will play too :D

Haven't played a Worms game in years, probably since the last 3D ones on PC.

[mankind]

Worms FTW, anyone know when it hits psn?

Unfortunately I don't have it any more, loaned it to a mate once and never got it back :rolleyes:

Would be playing it still though :D

[Spider]

YAY first day BUY

this and Fat princess are the games im pumped for ATM on psn

[bfd_josh]

yes they should be a blast!,

offtopic: any word on fat pricess?

[robby_diesel]

game looks pretty simple and fun probably worth a download pending reviews :)

[BlacJack]

Since this is pretty much a port of Armegeddon from the PC, I won't need reviews to know if I want to buy this. I played that game for years on the PC and loved every minute of it. This is a perfect addition to the PSN and I can't wait for its release!

[Kopkiwi]

Definitely going to need to pick me up a bluetooth mouse and keyboard.

[BlacJack]

This game would be just as easy to play with a controller really...

[theaface]

Love a bit of classic 2D Worms. Hopefully this'll be a full-size game, with platinum trophies and the works.

[Bustagroove]

I remember playing this game almost 2 decades ago. Oops shouldn't have said that

[-PuReOwNaGe1994]

Most definitely a must purchase whatever the price it truly is such an addictive game.

Cant wait! :mrgreen:
