That song comes to mind when I think of the Worms franchise. I know that people either love or hate these games, but I have always felt that they are top notch for playing with your friends; so when THQ announced that they were going to be releasing a new Worms game for DS and PSP with online capability I just about shit my pants with joy. Yeah, I know that is a weird way to celebrate, get off my back.
Why should someone be excited about yet another Worms game? Look, although Worms games are fun to play single-player, they are exponentially more entertaining to play with friends. And the PSP has yet to get a Worms game, and the DS does not have one that takes advantage of the Nintendo Wi-fi connection. So now you can blast people from anywhere in the world with some of the most ridiculous weapons ever conceived in a turn based strategy game.
This new iteration of Worms will of course be similar to all the other Worms games you have played in the past but it will also have some new features, including new weapons and game modes, as well as the ability to make custom team flags and even the possibility of custom landscapes. Perhaps the greatest addition though comes in the form of online leaderboards. Now you can check just how much Worm ass you kick (or how much ass you suck. -ed) compared to everyone else.
This is definitely a game to look out for if you have been a fan of the series or even if it has ever perked your interest nubbins. It is slated for a summer release for both handheld platforms.
