Don’t know about you, but I really, really enjoy playing Worms. That’s why I was delighted to learn THQ Wireless will mobilize the latest sequel, Worms 2008: A Space Oddity, this summer.
According to the game publisher, Worms 2008 retains all the familiar gameplay and unique sense of humour. However, the game will “showcase a whole raft of new features” including four all-new mini-games, an enhanced single player campaign mode, an all-new landscape view mode and new weapons.
Worms 2008 features a story of intergalactic Worm travellers exploring their solar system. The improved single-player campaign missions feature varying objectives to keep the player on their toes as they fight to defend installations, repair space crafts, collect rare minerals and battle to the death against alien races. With the space setting comes a host of new weapons, including the Impact Frag, Atom Packs and Cluster Frags, which are based around the classic Worms weapons but share all new artwork and names with Worms: A Space Oddity, released earlier this year for Nintendo Wii.
In addition, there’s the all new AI system, as well as new graphics and animations such as smoke trails and “multi-layered parallax particles.”
Worms 2008 is scheduled to be available for over 850 mobile phones starting in June 2008. More information is available on THQ Wireless’ website and few more screenshots follow after the jump.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
