Worms: Goin' Mobile

Remember "Worms Armageddon"? Remember the other dozens of Worms titles? Well those vicious little bazooka-wielding invertebrates are ready to become even more compact in "Worms 2007," a version of the game for mobile phones.

If you haven't played any of the worms games, they're multi-player wars where you take a group of worms on a battlefield and strategically try to kill the other team's worms by way of heavy weaponry. Although it sounds silly, it's quite fun. Especially when you name your team of worms after diplomats (take that, Churchill!).

The game is said to have more worms, more weapons, and a fully controllable game camera. And best of all - they fit in your pocket. I haven't had worms in my pocket since the second grade when I decided that I would try to scare some of my friends, so I'd strategically hide worms in their pockets and shoes and hair.

By the way, if anybody was wondering who was the ringleader was of the great Pea Ridge Elementary Worm Scare of 1996, I don't know anything.
