New Worms content wriggles out tomorrow

They say good things come to those who wait, and that may be more true for Worms fans than most. It took a long time and a massive heap of internet rage before Worms finally made it onto Xbox Live Arcade, but it was worth the wait for purists. Said purists may now rejoice a second time, as the new downloadable content (DLC to the kids) will be available tomorrow on Xbox Live. There will be 3 new landscapes available. The Space Landscape (pictured above) is free, while the Hell and Jungle Landscapes will set you back 150 points each. Perhaps the most exciting news, 22 new voice banks will be available for free. Finally, our Angry Scottish, Redneck (presents!), and Irish worms can rise again.

Expect the new content to hit the ground ~~running~~ wriggling tomorrow.

Worms theme and audio DLC announced

Over on the Team 17 forums they've announced new downloadable content for XBLA title Worms. The downloadable content will be a dozen or so theme and audio packs that will include updated backgrounds and audio commentary for your worms to rumble in. It has been confirmed that the Space Theme and Audio pack will be free for download, but we are not sure of the other pack's cost or if they will be free too. Also confirmed is a Worms gamer picture set and theme. But all this new content will be a long time coming, because Team 17 is currently putting their efforts into a patch that'll help make the game all the more sparkly. Speech, themes, and audio ... what more could a Worms fan want (other than every Worms weapon ever created)?

[Thanks, Boff]

Worms update wriggles out soon

Worms fans rejoice, for an update to your favorite annelid warfare simulation is on the way. On his personal blog, Team17's Martyn "Spadge" Brown has detailed some of the new things we can expect in the update. The biggest fix should solve the problem of 4-player games crashing. A number of exploits should be fixed as well. Thanks to our friends at XBLArcade, we also know that AI players will now take a maximum of 2 seconds to "think." Blessedly, the AI will no longer perform ridiculously accurate grenade shots either.

In addition to the update, plenty of downloadable content is on the way. The content is set to include a new theme (we think Spadge is referring to a level background, not a dashboard theme), audio that was cut because of the 50MB limit, lots of new voice banks (angry Scots FTW!), and some new themes and gamer pics. A release date has not yet been set for the update or downloadable content, so for now we'll slap the dreaded "coming soon®" sticker on it.

Is your favorite weapon still in Worms?

Worms fans, take a long look at the above image. What you see is the definitive selection of the weapons available in the Xbox Live Arcade version of Team17's Worms. As we've noted in the past, several weapons are missing, including our beloved Holy Hand Grenade. Our friends at XBLArcade have compiled a list of all the weapons and tools pictured above. Take a gander at that list and tell us what your favorite weapon is. If that weapon isn't featured in the list, feel free to express your feral rage. Frankly, we've been waiting for Worms so long that our rage devolved long ago into mild irritation. Where that irritation resides, we cannot say, but our doctor assures us that "it ain't pretty."

Worms passes certification, universe implodes [update 1]

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 ~~scum~~ site what it means to be an Xbox 360 Fanboy.

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.

Worms page is live, coming soon?

With any luck at all, next week will signal the end of the constant moaning for Worms on Xbox Live Arcade. Don't get us wrong, we've done a fair share of moaning ourselves. The big news is this: the Worms page is now live on Xbox.com. What's more, it was live over the weekend and has yet to be pulled. This scenario may sound familiar to Xbox 360 Fanboy readers, as the Alien Hominid HD page went live a week and a half before its release. Hopefully, this means we'll finally get to see Worms wriggle its way onto Live Arcade next week.

So, here's the new question: if Worms comes out next week, what game will we complain about next? What Live Arcade game gets to become the next Worms?

[Thanks, Miguel]

Worms STILL in certification!

Martyn Brown, known as "Spadge" on the Team17 forums, came forth with some unfortunate news for Worms fans. The game, as of yesterday, is still in certification. Hopefully it won't be in cert for as long as Paperboy has been and we'll still have it in our hands soon. Spadge had some other news that was slightly uplifting, saying that Worms will have both free and premium content available to download, since their title is still under the 50MB ruling. Looks like we'll have to wait a little longer, fanboys.

GTR: Worms questions answered (ninja rope!)

Godfree and the gang at Gamertag Radio scored an interview with Martyn Brown of Team17, the developers of Worms for Xbox Live Arcade. Martyn answers lots of burning questions about the game, and assures us that the classic Worms experience is intact. We are particularly happy to report that ninja rope is in the game (along with the ability to drop weapons while roping). Voice banks are also supported, though Team17 couldn't fit them all into the game. More are coming to Marketplace, though. What the interview does not have: a release date.

Worms, without a doubt, is the most highly anticipated Arcade title right now (at least it is judging from the comments around here). If you're even a little bit interested, we suggest you check out the latest episode of GTR for the interview. Also included in the show are interviews with the Yankees' Johnny Damon, Snoop Dogg (no, seriously), and the developers of Bullet Witch. Hit the "read" link to check it out.

Worms still not certified, the world weeps

Yeah, we know. You want Worms. Every week that Worms isn't released for Xbox Live Arcade, your cries of anguish produce a hideous echo in the vast intertubes that connect us all. The announcement of new Lumines content this Wednesday all but assures us that there will be no proper XBLA release, so it seems Worms fans will face yet another week of stark raving madness. There is, however, light at the end of the worm-eaten tunnel, as Martyn Brown, Team17's studio director, assures us that the game is still in certification (known as "cert" to hip industry types) and that it hopefully won't be "much longer now."

It's not much, but given Team17's recent moratorium on Worms info, it's definitely better than nothing.
