The Worms series has always been a personal favorite game of mine, eveer since the mid 1990s when I first discovered, I think, Worms: Armageddon. Since then the Team 17 guys have consistently churned out great expansions and sequels to the venerable turn-based artillery game.

Their newest Worms title, however, take a bit of a departure from as the game is primarily focused around the sport of golf. But wait! Before you go running off yawning to death at the mere mention of a sports game, allow me to assuage your worry a bit. Worms Crazy Golf is, at it’s heart, still very much a Worms game. It’s just now instead of trying to blow the bejeezus out of other worms, you’re put into wacky gold courses where you must angle everything correctly to make it home.

Check out the official description:

Worms Crazy Golf is a hilarious mixture of the explosive action of Worms and the puzzle-based challenges of crazy golf! All of the trademark Worms humour, comic violence, and cartoon visuals are present, combined with addictive yet accessible golf gameplay. With extensive and replayable single-player options, and hot-seat multi-player for up to 4 players, this is not just a load of balls!

The game looks like a great addition to the series and I, for one, can’t wait to give it a spin.

Worms Crazy Gold get released next week, October 19th, on PC (Steam), iOS and the Playstation Network. American Playstation 3 owners will have to wait until October 25th.
