According to the source it should be out in a couple of weeks exactly. I havent bought an Xbla game since they reemed me with that god awful Pacman. This game on the other hand validates my 360 purchase, and I didnt even see it coming.

First XBLA purchase right here.

Let's hope they don't rape us with microtransactions.

Also, lets hope for a robust singleplayer and map editor a la Armageddon.

about the same metal capacity as a cucumber
In case nobody read the "article", it mentions Microtransactions being a must due to the size limit of each file.

Evil sinister MS plan all along?

How nice to break the NDA for an exclusivity. I'm sure people at MS will be pleased.

Well it is the first XBLA thing to actually care about in a long while :) XBLA fans are treated with such contempt by MS.

This was NDA'd? We knew this was coming though

You have to get proper authorization from either the developer or the publisher before showing anything you get from the debug marketplace.

Isn't that still dependent on how well the rope works? I've yet to play a Worms on a D pad that worked well. Although the only one I can remember was a Dreamcast Worms.

YES! Worms 2 art style! It looks great, I was expecting Worms 1 art.. I would have bought this 100% no doubt but the list of weapons looks pretty paltry and how am I going to rope with a controller?! I will check out the demo but could be close to buying my first MS point

Holy shit, Day 1 purchase. Looks incredible in HD, this is one of my most anticipated games for 2007.

That looks 1000x better than I ever expected! Kudos to Team 17 - perhaps PSN and XBLA will give Team 17 their long awaited true come-back from the Amiga days.

I didn't like the physics in the PSP version. The explosions didn't feel right and the nades didn't bounce as nice as in Armageddon. Looking at the style of the game, I seems Worms HD will use a lot of the same assets as the PSP version. Let's hope the engine has been reworked.

Well it is supposed to be 'officially announced' at CES - so everyone is expected a release that Wednesday.

I'm also wondering if they are tieing this is with other XBLA announcements? I want a full release schedule for 2007 damn it!

I was actually blown away by PS3 Lemmings. This is BOUGHT.

Though Lemmings is a Sony first party game, I wonder if this will ever grace either VC or the PSN ?

I'm not sure about anyone else, but I'm really interested to see how the whole online downloadable game distribution will work. Does having a game such as this on LIVE mean that it's automatically an exclusive?

In the PS3 Gripshift thread, Mario (IIRC), mentioned that he would be keen to have Gripshift on XBLA but would be prehibited to do so by the download cap. In short, I wonder when we'll see our first third party download game that's available across all three formats?

Or will each download service (XBLA etc) have it's own unique and exclusive content?

I wouldn't be surprised if their PartnerNet account mysteriously disappeared.

Why are some of you people saying it's the Worms 2/Worms Armageddon artstyle? It's not.

Worms XBLA:

While I'm not too bothered that they're the new PSP sprites, I do think the old WA sprites are better. In the end it doesn't really matter that much though.

The 2.5d engine that Team17 has been employing for the recent Lemmings and Worms iterations is really sumptuous.
