We already knew that Worms made it through certification earlier this week, but now we know that it will be next week's Live Arcade game. If you haven't lost interest in Worms because you thought it was going to come out weeks ago, then scrounge up 800 Microsoft Points for next Wednesday.

Chances are you've played a Worms game before, but if you haven't, you can expect a turn-based game that involves worms killing each other with a variety of strange weapons.
