Brutal Gamer writes - 'This week's edition of Lookin' Back looks at a classic, fun game.
"Stoopid!" "Traitor!" "Iiiincoming!" "You'll regret that!"
Ah, Worms! One of the most fun games I've probably ever played. Believe it or not, the first version of Worms was released way back in 1995. There was a fairly small selection of weapons and match were played with 2 teams fighting each other. Each team has a number of worms with a certain amount of health. The object was to kill all of the other worms. You simply played either against the computer or against another human player.'
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
"Of course, the Worms series did have a few damp squibs in the team. The 3D versions really didn’t work very well. It probably could do, with a bit of tweaking. I played a game for the PS1 called Hogs of War, which was a similar game in which you controlled a team of humanoid pigs who had weapons with which to destroy each other. This game was fully 3D and worked very well."
Yes. Hogs of War. I mean, where is the sequel? Why not a PSN version of the game?...still stands up better than any of the Worms 3D series. Rik Mayall doing all the voice acting, politically incorrect, what a great game.
Armageddon will always be my fav Worms game of all time to date. I'm also a little worried that Team 17 have just been jumping between Worms and Lemmings over the last decade, I'd like them to do something radically different. Also, wheres Alien Breed for XBLA I heard about ages ago?
Another classic that was given birth through the Amiga.
