Worms Master Edition

Thinking how much I've learnt about playing worms in the last 5 or so hours, and on hearing the thoughts of a good few live players, I think the next move for worms should be the Master Edition. This would have every option ever thought of or implemented in the many series of the game with the promise of building into the most comprehensive worms release ever. Obviously, for XBL consumers (even expert players), the play would have to be templated heavily, i know from having worked on the game, albeit in a managerial capacity that worms is extremely difficult to expand upon without introducing too many "ploys" and spoiling it's accessability to new players. The best feeling is lobbing a granade from one side of the level to another, causing a huge chain reaction, killing all your enemies. Anyway, I think players would really welcome the "Mother of all Worms"...This is of course a 'new release' idea, the existing XBLA game may already prove to build towards it in incremental digital updates.

In summary, Worms was always been a human Vs human game and with the headset on, listening to the giggles, it's the first time it is being played in an environment that supports its design ideals. Best 800 credits I've spent.

Worms Live

Just had a great session of worms on XBL, actually managed to win a few games although largely by luck (others blowing themselves up etc) Got the hang of it now so it'll be a regular thing. I've played most of the worthy XBLA stuff and worms is certainly head and shoulders above the rest in terms of depth of play and entertainment value. All were laughing and taking the piss, super atmosphere. I played quite a few american kids, all of which had had far too many hershy bars and were on the sugar rush, good fun. Easter makes 7 year olds sing to strangers, I'm sure this is what Jesus intended. Sweet.
