[New Game] Worms 2: Armageddon Invades Canada (And Only Canada) With Classic Ballistic Gameplay

Posted by Jeremiah Rice in Games, News

The long-running Worms franchise made an ungraceful exit from the Play Store when franchise owner Team 17 Digital deemed Electronic Arts' support unworthy of the brand. Now they're back in Worms 2: Armageddon (a sequel to the XBLA/PSN Worms, and not to be confused with the 1999 Worms Armageddon game) from Team 17 itself. The game is now available on the Play Store... in Canada. And only in Canada. At the moment it's a soft launch for the northern territory, so there's no word on when it will get a wider release.

If you've never played Worms, it's a lot like the old Scorched Earth and other 2D tank games.

Worms 2: Armageddon Coming To The Play Store In The Not Too Distant Future

Posted by Ryan Whitwam in Apps/Games, Games, News

The Worms games are fabulous turn-based combat experiences that consumed many hours of my formative years. The original Worms was ported to Android a few years ago, but it was riddled with bugs and has since been abandoned by publisher EA. Here's hoping that Worms 2: Armageddon is delivered in better shape when it hits the Play Store this spring.

For the uninitiated, in Worms games you control a team of anthropomorphic worms with the singular goal of eliminating the other team. To accomplish this feat you have at your disposal a wacky arsenal of bombs, guns, airstrikes, and exploding sheep (really).

Worms Now Available In Market, Productivity Takes Another Massive Hit World-Wide

Posted by Brad Ganley in Apps/Games, Games, News

Worms, the much-anticipated game by EA Mobile, is now available in the Android market for $2.99. Between this and Angry Birds, you're never going to get any work done.

Worms is a turn-based strategy game centering around your battle worms duking it out with other battle worms. You get all the classic weapons from the original Worms, as well as the hilarious dialogue and animation. The game looks great and gameplay is buttery-smooth on my Evo. If you like bugs, crazy weapons, and/or explosions, this is the game for you.
