If the impending sunny weather and free-time of another pitiless summer is getting you down, you'll be happy to know that there'll still be a way to fight it out on the go. THQ's second foray into invertebrate battle is hitting a portable system near you, in the form of Worms: Open Warfare 2, and it's very much the same classic game that has made engaging in strategic warfare cuddly and addictive for well over a decade.
For those who haven't been drafted onto the squirmy battle field of Worms yet, Open Warfare 2 marks the return of the renowned turn-based strategy that has kept friends fighting on nearly every platform worth owning. As two teams of, you guessed it, worms, square off on a 2-D battlefield, adorably inspired by some of the most violently recognizable skirmishes in mankind's history, you'll be assigned the duty of moving members of your squirmy squadron, as well as assigning each a task.
And for the first time ever, Worms goes on the defensive. The strategy gets deeper as offense-based aggression will have to contend with a new era of defensive weaponry. Sentry turrets can be placed to guard hold-outs, and from the ACME catalog, the Electro Magnet has the ability to repel air strikes as well repel metal based weapons carried by individual aggressors.
