A while ago I purchased "Worms: Open Warfare" on the PSP, which prompted me to dust off my old copy of Worms World Party for the PC. I took it to the office, and it became an instant hit. Once everyone purchased a copy (for very little money as it's an old title), we have had some hilarious lunchtime sessions playing over the network.

The 2D version is far more playable than the awkward 3D incarnations of previous years, and would be a fantastic addition to XBOX Live. I used to play this title on the Dreamcast, and know from experience that this is very playable on a console.

Does anyone agree?

It pains me to say this, but I have decided to not purchase the Playstation 3, even though I always intended too. In the UK it appears that it will only be offered with software bundles at approximately £550 (Over $1000), to make matters worse games are being sold for £50 ($92.50). In comparison, I picked by XBOX 360 up for just £279 ($507) and games are no more than £40 ($72).

Like many I would find it hard to justify that kind of expense, especially knowing that we are being charged more than other countries. Perhaps I will pick it up in a few years, once the initial buzz has died down. For now I will continue to invest in my XBOX 360, and perhaps treat myself to a shiny new graphics card for the PC.
