It's a new can of Worms! The follow-up to the highly successful, ultra-playable Worms is here! And it smacks
one hell of a punch! Worms Armageddon is quite simply the biggest and the best, and it's packed full of goodies
(and baddies).
Worms Armageddon, it's a Blast!
This is the funniest and most addictive game you'll ever play - hilarious fun that you can enjoy anywhere,
anytime. Worms is a turn based strategy game but the real buzz is from watching the devastation caused by those
pesky Worms with those fantastic weapons - sneaky little blighters with a bad attitude!
