Wait until the last day of the sale to buy this one...it may go even cheaper than that for one of the daily deals.

@Putts

I hope so. Haven't played Worms for years and would like to hop back in.

It's a great game and everything (worms is always great) but it runs like a dog on my machine that otherwise nails this year's more demanding games on high settings at 1680x1050. In fact, it's running worse than it did when it came out and was unpatched. When FPS are high they are high, but it only takes mid-turn text to come up and I'm basically at 0.1 . Hmm. An issue with x64 maybe? I don't know.

It kind of baffles me that it should be at all difficult to get a game like this, a game not much different to the one released in 1997 but at a higher res, running flawlessly on modern systems. It also kind of baffles me that they didn't just keep building on the older code and features (Armageddon, World Party) when they weren't going to significantly change anything. By now you'd think we'd have physics enabled collapsing structures and land, and any number of other funky additions.

Oh well. Still loads of fun, I just hope the next iteration learns a lot of lessons from this one and maybe has an interface that doesn't look like it was made for the sight impaired (or for iphones or something).

@edit Oh and er, when I say worms is "always great" I'm referring to the 2D games :p
