The success of the Wii and co-op games hearkens back to rare older games that were focused on a multiplayer experience. One of the most successful of these was the Worms series where players could control teams of earthworms hell-bent on destroying one another via arrays of weapons ranging from mundane machine guns to outlandish banana grenades and exploding sheep.

Over the years there’s been sequels and remakes, with a remake of Worms having launched on Xbox Live Arcade just over two years ago. The game is demonstrating incredible staying power, having been in the top five weekly sales even now. It’s just been launched for download to your PS3 via the Playstation Network. The game takes advantage of the full graphics power, putting out the retooled images at a full 1080p and giving you and up to three friends a great view of the mayhem.

For $12.99 the game is available currently in the USA, with it launching for 7.99 pounds or 9.99 euros over Easter. It features the same classic gameplay with all sorts of new bells and whistles including a wide array of team voices, an improved physics engine and four new weapons including the Holy Hand Grenade and Concrete Donkey.
