Worms Revolution Message Board

The Worms series is 50 and 75 percent off this week on Steam until 10:00am PT on Friday. 17 games can be purchased in one collection for $22.49 or individually for their respective discounted prices. The Worms Collection includes Worms ($1.99), Worms: Armageddon ($7.49), Worms: Blast ($1.99), Worms: Crazy Golf ($2.49), Worms: Pinball ($1.99), Worms: Reloaded ($4.99) along with its Forts, Puzzle, Time Attack and Retro packs for $1.24 each, Worms: Revolution and its season pass for $7.49 each, Worms: Ultimate Mayhem ($3.74) and the game's single player DLC ($4.24) as well as its multiplayer pack and customization pack, each discounted to $1.49.

One game that isn't part of the pack is the latest from Team17, Worms: Clan Wars, which is $12.49 on its own. The game is free to play until 1:00pm PT on Sunday, so players that act fast can get a taste of the game before buying it at a discount. Team17 recently announced that it would publish its first third-party game in nearly two decades, a stealthy game called Light by Just a Pixel.

This week's Steam sales gauntlet has been laid and it's a doozy. 15 games in total are on sale, including the aforementioned Teleglitch: Die More Edition for $3.25, Leisure Suit Larry Reloaded for $12, Worms: Revolution for $7.49 and MX vs ATV Reflex for $4.

Historical tactical game Commander: Conquest of the Americas is down to $2.50, while physics-smashing racer FlatOut is on sale for $1.87. Hellacious shooter NecroVision can be summoned to your Steam library for $3.24, while fantasy match-em-up 4 Elements is down to $1.50.

There's a lot to comb through in this week's Steam deals, so head to the sales page for more.

This week's PSN update has been issued, offering a fresh cornucopia of digital wares for your leisurely consumption. Both FIFA 14 and Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 are available for download, though only the former is available across multiple platforms: PS3, PS Vita (a re-skin) and PSP. Kung-Fu Factory's Girl Fight steps into the PSN ring today and The Mark of Kri joins the ranks of PS2 Classics.

PS Plus members can download a free copy of Rayman Origins on the PS Vita today. The routine round of discounts have also been extended to PS Plus, with this week's deals highlighting Limbo, Worms Revolution and more. Price drops have also been extended to Dead Space 3 and pretty much the entire Assassin's Creed series - all of which you can pore over in the full list over on the PlayStation Blog.

PS Plus members will get a free PS Vita download of Rayman Origins this week. While the delightful (and sometimes punishing) platformer failed to make it into our Top 10 of 2012, we assure you it was one of the year's high points.

In addition to the free game, PS Plus members may also enjoy their requisite weekly discounts on a select group of games. Playdead's indie darling Limbo is down to $12, Worms: Revolution is $7.50 and Lone Survivor: The Director's Cut - a cross-buy enabled psychological adventure game for PS Vita and PS3 - is on sale for $11.69. Finally, pinball aficionados can slam on the virtual flippers of Pinballstik and its DLC at varying discounts.

You can find these various discounts and your free download when the PlayStation Store updates tomorrow.

Everyone's favourite garden-dwelling grenadiers are back in a brand new collection on Xbox 360.

A hygienic Worms bundle will soon be available at UK retail. The Worms Revolution Collection, which includes Worms Revolution and Worms 2 Armageddon will be available May 3 for £24.99.

Both Revolution and Armageddon are the 2D gamplay style of classic Worms, with the former incorporating 3D graphics. The bundle also includes all three downloadable content packs (Mars, Funfair and Medieval Tales) released for Revolution. We've reached out to developer Team 17 for details on North American and general European release.

Worms Revolution, the latest installment in the 2D strategy shooter, is free to play this weekend on Steam. The game is gratis until Sunday at 1PM Pacific.

Additionally, the game's price is marked down by 50 percent to $7.49 this weekend, and cheaper when purchased in a four-pack for friends. That sale lasts until Monday, April 22.

Revolution differentiated itself from the other Worms in the franchise with "dynamic water, physics objects and worm classes" amidst the usual invertebrate warfare.

Worms Revolution's "Mars Pack" DLC is, of course, themed around that barren rock with the robot on it. Starting today, PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 players can download it for 400 MS Points (or $5) and gain access to five new campaign missions, four additional weapons and appropriately themed customization options such as space helmets and a new Mars backdrop for local and online play.

Mars follows the same content structure as the previous Funfair DLC pack. Feel free to wriggle your way into our gallery below for some screens, some of which showcase the new weapons.

It says it right there in the title: Worms Revolution. A revolution, a radical change, a momentous shift. The game that will, as the marketing blurb puts it, bring classic Worms gameplay "squarely into the 21st century." Let's just settle this right now: Worms Revolution does not radically alter or change the traditional Worms formula in any fundamental way.

In truth, though, does anyone really want it to?

Worms™ Revolution is now available on Steam!

Worms™ Revolution is the latest game in the classic turn-based strategy series to come to the PC, featuring exciting new features and beautiful 3D graphics whilst retaining the classic 2D gameplay that fans love.

For the first time ever see the inclusion of dynamic water, physics objects and worm classes! Customize your experience by choosing what classes you play with, what they look like and even how they speak!

War, what is it good for? Worms, and worms who war.

This information is vital, please take the time to view this public information film, soldier.

A level from the Gamescom showfloor demo.

A new trailer for Worms: Revolution has "disgraced wildlife documenter" Don Keystone warning an audience about the vicious behavior patterns of the game's aggressive little creatures. Worms: Revolution will launch in October 2012 on PC, XBLA, and PSN.

Who is Don Keystone? Well, let him talk at you and you'll learn all about it.

Worms Revolution, the first built-from-the-ground-up Worms title in a very long time, is heading to PlayStation Network this October. Developer Team 17 revealed the news on the EU PlayStation Blog, noting that Worms Revolution will launch on October 10 for £9.99/€12.99. For those who haven't been following the game, Worms Revolution is built with a brand new engine and adds dynamic water and different worm classes to the traditional Worms formula.

Unsurprisingly, the post doesn't mention the release date for the PC or Xbox Live Arcade version - or the North American PSN release date, for that matter - though they will presumably arrive on or near the same date. We've reached out to Team 17 to see if we can suss out release dates on all platforms.

The latest Worms: Revolution developer diary video digs into the varying single-player and multiplayer game modes. Players can guide their angry little worms to victory in Q3 2012 when the game launches on XBLA, PSN, and PC.

Forts and classic deathmatch? You bet. Bring on the game types.

Worms fans may have noticed that Worms Revolution seems to have several types of annelids wriggling around. It turns out that, yes, there are now several different classes of worms, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Learn all about them in Team 17's latest dev diary.

Categorizing Worms soldiers? Madness. But it works.

The latest developer diary video from Team 17 for Worms: Revolution has Lead Programmer Ian Lindsey explaining the game's dynamic water physics and environments. The game will head to PC, XBLA, and PSN in Q3 2012.

Run down the major new additions and changes in Revolution.

Aside from the history lesson on the Worms series given by Worms Revolution lead designer Kevin Carthew, the above developer diary gives us a few brief snippets of water-based warfare. The water gun lets you push worms down hills and potentially off cliffs, though it looks like submersion isn't the insta-death it's been in the past.

Also, they apparently have a green screen, and were anxious to try it out. Good for them!
