GameSpot writes: " It's been a while since Microsoft last branded an Xbox Live Arcade title an Arcade Hit. However, if the publisher's own Web site is to be believed, it appears as if a trio of long-standing XBLA titles is poised to be added to the discount program.

With Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe out next week, Microsoft will be giving 360 gamers a cut rate on Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. The online-enabled arcade fighter garnered solid reviews when it scrapped its way onto Microsoft's online platform in October 2006. Joining Midway's fighter will be Team 17's over-the-top annelid arms race Worms, as well as Oberon Media's casual action title Feeding Frenzy."

We heard rumblings about it last month, and it has now entered certification. It is hoped that the patch will be with us in the next week or two.

"The update for Worms XBLA is now in the hands of the test group and due to go into a final certification check soon. We'd hope that this means it's available in the next couple of weeks. It's taken some time because with the title being heavy multi-player there's a lot to check etc. Sorry for the delay"

It's not often that developers go public on admitting cockups in their software. We all remember how long it took for Infinity Ward to mildly confirm that 'some players' had problems with the game's multiplayer before patching it after a ridiculous four months. The Worms developers deserve some cheers then for publicly stating that they screwed up on their AI timing.

The release date for Worms on XBLA was given yesterday and now we have the list of weapons available in the game¿

It does look like the weapons list has been stripped down a little with some notable ones missing such as the holy hand grenade. I think all the gamers that want this will look over the weapons selection however, as they are simply so excited that the game is finally going to be available for download.

Worms HD finally made it through the certification process and will be the next Xbox Live Arcade game, which will be released for Xbox 360 on 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. Each team takes turns picking off opposing team members using crazy weapons, tools and other utilities along with whatever foul strategies they can devise. The simple and cute appearance belies the deep strategy of a game that is easy to play but difficult to master.

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

Team 17 boss Martyn Brown says the developer is as frustrated as anyone about Worms' prolonged absence from Xbox Live Arcade, but he expects we'll see it very soon.

"The delay with Worms for XBLA has been as frustrating for Team17 as it has been for the very many players eager to see it's release," Brown told Eurogamer this morning.

"It's really been a case of the last cycle of production/testing and certification taking much longer than we would have hoped. We know we aren't the only case, but that doesn't ease the frustration."

It seems we could be waiting a while yet for Worms to appear on the Xbox Live Arcade with Team 17 reporting that the game is still going through the certification process...

The wait for Worms seems to be ever-lasting. We expected it during CES, but then it was set back. Now in February, we still are yet to see the game. Now though, it seems as if it isn't that far away, after Martyn Brown (studio director of Team 17) was interviewed by Gamertag Radio and said the game is nearly with us. He also answers alot of questions people have been dying to know for some time now.

Starting with the release date, he says that the whole certification took a lot longer than he and Microsoft had anticipated. He says the next few weeks, so it is likely that we will be seeing it before the end of February, all being well. He acknowledges the upset that has been caused, but re-iterates what so many other Arcade developers do, and says "it isn't as simple as 'it is done, get it out'". I really think it should be!
