Avatars get all wormy in Worms 2: Armageddon for Xbox LIVE Arcade photo

In a pitch to get us to see their goods at GDC this year, developer Team17 has passed along some new screens for the upcoming Xbox LIVE Arcade title, Worms 2: Armageddon. Surprised, it looks like your NXE Avatar will make an appearance in some capacity. Neat. 

The sequel to one of the best-selling XBLA titles, Armageddon will combine the game's classic weapons with some of those found in 2007's Worms Open Warfare 2. Other than the fact that it will have "more features than you can shake a stick at," we don't know much. But hey, it's Worms, and that's almost never a bad thing. 

We'll have more info coming out of GDC in a few weeks, when we get our hands on the title. We'll be sure to ask them a million questions about NXE Avatars.

I mainly just missed the homerun bat in the first XBLA Worms, although it could have done with twice as many level themes.

Can't get enough Worms!

Is this Team17 as in Project X, Superfrog and Alien Breed? That takes me back!

I love worms too but i don't feel the need to buy it again at this stage. The current XBLA Worms release is enough for me to get my fix when i feel like it.

Concrete Donkey! I hope is in it.

Also, I hope they don't rape my wallet for 1200 MS points.

I hope that by calling it Armageddon they have some semblance of the customizability from the original Worms: Armageddon. Please.

Wait.... This isn't a port of Worms Armageddon, it's a sequel to the XBLA/DS/PSP versions reusing the name??

I'm not being sarcastic, I will make frothy love to this downloadable game.

By the way: to anyone confused about the inclusion of avatars in this game and bomberman but not other titles - Microsoft requires any game that uses avatars to be an "E" title. That's also why they aren't allowed in XNA.
