‘Heads-Up’ Game Store Update (8th September 2010)

It feels like its been an age since I last posted a store update, so I’m very glad to be back… although I may not be by the end of the day if you don’t play nicely this week ;-)
I forget how this works… this is a forum for anger management? Is that right?
Of course I jest. Please forgive me in my attempts at cracking wise.
So, onto the matter at hand: telling you folks what content we have this week. This week for you PS3 owners we have two full games available. The classic franchise Worms returns, with more madcap action. Who honestly would have thought all those years ago that a turn-based game featuring worms and a huge collection of insane weaponry would have captured our imaginations so completely? I have lost many, many hours through the years on various Worms titles, and now I’m so pleased to be able to the same all over again with Worms 2: Armageddon.
The second full title available takes you to the DANGERZONE (the Kenny Loggins track is my favourite karaoke tune, which you can also find the awesome video on VidZone too)! I couldn’t resist, sorry. Play as Maverick and take to the skies in this new Top Gun adventure. The only thing this game is missing is mini-games featuring semi-naked volleyball and locker-room towel flicking antics, but the arcade flight action I’m sure will suffice!
There’s also new content for Mafia II, Dragon Age: Origins and more besides. I’m not being lazy, but you know there’s a list of it all below… so what are waiting for, go and read it.
I’ll be around in the comments, though whether I respond to you or not is another matter (those that read here often enough know this is a joke; I’ll always answer what I can… within reason).
That’s your lot. Off you pop.
