Worms: Battle Islands announced for PlayStation Portable.
Worms, the now iconic franchise from Britsoft stalwarts Team17 has been providing quality gaming for over 15 years, and this month sees the announcement of Worms: Battle Islands as a digital download title for the PSP this winter. This title boasts several new features that are all-new to the series; an especially exciting new gamestyle being the multi-player focused Tactics Mode.
In Tactics Mode, the player takes control of their very own Secret Island Base made up of many different islands, each island imparting a tactical advantage for the player to use at the beginning of a Worms™ game. For example, the player could recon a battlefield before the war commences, or snipe an enemy worm to gain the upper hand; each one of the 16 islands available in game can be used to compliment the player’s individual play style. Take the fight online and, should you be victorious, you will have the opportunity to steal an item from your opponent’s island for your own personal use!
Another first in the world of 2D Worms is a comprehensive weapons editor. Create your ideal Worms™ weapon, tweak and tune via with a multitude of adjustable elements and then take it to the battlefield to lay waste to the opposition! Melee weapons, grenades, missile weapons and airstrikes are all available to create, meaning that each Worms™ player has the opportunity to field an entirely individual armoury in every match. With enhanced worm customisation elements including masks, backpacks and custom power bars, and an extensive landscape editor, Worms: Battle Islands is a feature-rich and long-lasting game for PSP that is sure to keep Worms and strategy fans happy for days on end.
Martyn Brown, Business Development Director at Team17, says; “Battle Islands is a fantastic PSP® title that is packed to the rafters with features and content, easily the most feature-rich portable edition of the game to date. We know fans have been waiting a while for this and so it’s a pleasure to finally confirm its forthcoming release.”
Key Features:
- All new multi-player Tactics Mode, coupled with the player’s secret island base feature.
- New player ranking system awards the player with experience points; higher ranked players gain access to more of the game’s locked items.
- The utilities ‘Flare’ and ‘E.M.P. Grenade’ appear only in Worms™: Battle Islands.
- Only 2D version of Worms™ to feature the ability to design and create Custom Weapons.
- Brand new in-game environments not previously featured in a Worms™ title.
- Appearance of a player’s team is customisable to a higher degree than any other 2D Worms™ game, with new items including masks, backpacks and customisable power-bars.
- Fresh presentation theme with all menus seemingly taking place within the player’s secret island base, and all operations handled by the player’s own four-worm strong team of staff.
- PSP® exclusive – an exclusive ‘Time Attack’ mode, comprised of ten individual time-based single-player challenges.
Worms Reloaded – Review
Format: PC(version reviewed)
Hits the Shelves: It doesn’t but it hits STEAM on Thursday August 26th
Publisher: Team 17
Developer: Ruffian Games

At some point in your life you will wish that a game you played as a youngster would get re-released and with graphics being as great as they are these days then some of them would look even more amazing. Worms Reloaded proves this, it still has some witty earth munchers in it but now they look more modern than ever. There is some cool features to be had in this game such as an editor that allows you to make your own custom landscapes which is quite easy to use as the trailer below shows:
I was hoping to delve into the online modes aswell for the review but STEAM would not launch the game for me, now this could be because its just been launched and everyone is trying to play it or could just be that STEAM has decided I should have a day off from playing with WORMS.
This game – once you get to play it is really fun, even on its prebuilt landscapes. Hours will seem like minutes and before you know it you have been playing all day! The game also has a cool incentive to buy and thats because Valve are offering Holy Hand Grenades for Team Fortress 2 Soldier with purchase!
Since playing this I cant honestly think as to why I gave up on it 10 years ago, thats how long its been since the last Worms was released btw!! Here are some generic screenshots, they are generic ones as I cannot load the game right now thanks to a STEAM error: 
The gameplay style is both classic and fresh, Worms Reloaded has over 60 single-player missions, full team and game style customization, landscape editing tools including the ability to import images, HD visuals and all the best weapons from Worms series past and present. As mentioned before there is a bonus for Team Fortress players who get this game too the folks who either pre-ordered Worms Reloaded, or who purchase it before September 2nd 2010, can look forward to exclusive Holy Hand Grenades and a ‘WormsTM-style’ army hat for their soldier in-game!
The Score: As I cannot access the game right now I will end this review, the score may have been a little higher if STEAM would have allowed me access to it.
