Worms have evolved and are taking no prisoners! Team17 Software Ltd. brings its popular "Worms" franchise to Xbox Live Arcade, delivering the first turn-based strategy game to the platform. "Worms" will be available for download on Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360T beginning Wednesday, March 7 at 0800 GMT (1 a.m. PST).
"Worms" is a cleverly balanced turn-based strategy game in which teams of heavily armed worms battle across bizarre, randomly generated landscapes for supremacy.

"Worms" will be available worldwide for 800 Microsoft Points.
