Microsoft Doesn't Want You to Play Worms

Microsoft Doesn't Want You to Play Worms
I think we're all a bit bitter that Microsoft teased us by releasing that great big list of upcoming Live Arcade games and then delivered the worst titles first, followed by a ha-ha-no-games-for-you video. Where's Castlevania? Where's Alien Hominid? Where's wormslinks?

Team 17's Martyn Brown had this to say:
"The delay with Worms for XBLA has been as frustrating for Team17 as it has been for the very many players eager to see it's release," Brown told Eurogamer this morning.


"It's really been a case of the last cycle of production/testing and certification taking much longer than we would have hoped. We know we aren't the only case, but that doesn't ease the frustration."

"We've been working very closely with Microsoft XBLA team on this who are as excited and just as keen to see the game out there and on XBLA but there are procedures to follow before that can be the case.

A likely story, sir. My theory: Microsoft doesn't want to share. It's done, and they love it, and the thought of the unwashed masses enjoying it as much as they do makes their cold hearts tremble.
