Martyn Brown, the Marketing Director of Team 17 gave out some heavy duty news about its highly anticipated XBLA title, Worms. It has officially passed certification! He also informed us that he wasn't positive on the release date as of yet, noting that it could be out in a few weeks, considering the other titles currently in the Live Arcade line up. Are you guys as stoked or relieved as we are to hear that Worms has made it through certification? You know what that means, right? We'll be able to finally show that Arcadian Update: Considering how long this title has been in certification without a change in status, we understandably forgot how to spell it once there was one.

It's always good to hear that games have finally gone gold, especially for the XBLA.

Hopefully not many will since tomorrow's announced game was announced a while back now. I wouldn't be surprised if it showed up next week though, given the Internet interest in it. I have to imagine MS watches that to some degree.
I just hope situations like this don't force developers to become less interested in the whole XLBA thing. Although, I suppose now they're used to the rules and such, so it might be better in the future.

Okay I think we've hit the limit on using internet pop culture references in pictures to promote blog articles. It was funny with Metal Gear WTF, I smiled at the use of the WTF kangeroo, but now ... yatta ... the thrill is gone.

I don't know what the big fuss is about. I was always a Scorched Earth purist, and Worms was just a rip-off of that sublime game. :)

And so, now that we know cert is complete, and the game is sitting there awaiting release, it raises the question, why can't they announce a release date? Should be as simple as picking a spot on their schedule. I just don't understand all the secrecy with XBLA. It is, for lack of a better word, retarded.
