Impatiently waiting... from the looks of it, Ms Pac Man is this week, Heavy Weapon is next week... I hope Worms somehow finds its way to XBLA soon

I am growing increasingly impatient. I expected an announcement this week... and now I'm going insane. This is one game I must have!

The game had it's first viewing at CES, it's full and official announcement will follow soon. MS tend to have a solid week of hard-focus PR around the launch, so all it got was a "coming soon".

OMG :eek: Why isn't anyone standing at the boot??? Why should anyone prefer a baseball game over Worms :confused: ? ;)

Because... it wasn't a demo?
Probably just a video with a "comming soon" announcement.

I'm pretty sure worms was playable at CES. Maybe Spadge told that fat b'strd to move over so he could take a picture.

It should be a worm winking or holding a white flag

On a gamespot forum, some guy said he already has Worms (for some reason) and that the logo is a worm next to a grenade ... Don't know if it is true but it is something =P

Worms has been on 'partnernet' which is the service that test, developers and publishers have access to. It can't be run on a normal xbox360, just a debug.

Says 21st, though it's source isn't cited.

No date has been suggested. We can't possibly give a date until the game is fully certified, even if MS had a date in mind, it's pointless until it's totally clear of the certification process, which sadly it isn't right now.

I suspected it was rubbish as I can't find anything to confirm it.

Stupid Wikipedia.

AS a general rule, things like that are announced here as soon as anyone knows. Whenever anyone posts "this other site says the date is X" or "this other site says the game will include Y" or "this other site says team 17 are making Z" I just ignore them.

I'm beginning to have the problem now where my enthusiasm is starting to wain.

I was pumped for the game, but all this waiting has kind of killed it. I would have paid the earth for this 2 weeks ago, but every week with some other old crap coming out I'm getting in to other games now :(

I want to want it! I really do, but with the delays and "so so" reviews I'm starting to lose interest before it's even out :(

Reviews will always be mixed. Always.

Put it this way, Worms XBLA was used by Bungie! in their internal games pentathlon a few weeks back (using the version on Partnernet) - they love it - and they can't be all bad!

I'm not sure that such early reviews of the game can make much note of the leaderboards and online community, but still...

Yeah, that's true.

I'm sure as soon as it comes out everything will be back to full excitement. I think XBLA will be a great place for Worms, I just wish I could purge it from my memory untill it's out :)

Honestly, I'd still pay the earth for this.

I can assure you that we're equally frustrated it's not in your playlist yet!

I read that, I read everything Bungie. I need my fix of all news Halo 3.
