Worms 2

Sequel to one of the most addictive multiplayer games in the entire universe, Worms 2 has numerous new options which allow the player to tailor the game by selecting which weapons the teams start with and how much damage can be caused to each worm. In addition, players can also create their own arsenal through the use of a weapons editor, a feature that allows you to invent awesome new weapons by combining different weapon types. Along with the editor, the game includes over 60 new weapons, high-resolution, cartoon-style graphics, a whole range of new sound effects, speech and music tracks (including a programmable jukebox), and the ability to play with up to eight players over the Internet.

The original Worms was in many ways a triumph of gameplay over graphics and proved to be one of the most addictive games ever conceived when played against a chum.

Worms 2, the much-lauded sequel, offered slightly tidier graphics, 60 new weapons and even more fun-filled surprises that enhanced the still addictive gameplay, though it was essentially the same game with relatively few new tweaks. On budget, at least, this doesn't seem to matter as much as it did, and if you've yet to discover the charm of Worms, this is the version to buy.
