It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.

I never truly understood that mantra until I played Worms 2. Before that, any multiplayer game existed only so that I could molest and brutalize my opponent in the most smacktalkingest way possible. Winning was the goal and anything short of that was failure. But playing Worms will quickly make one realize that success or failure is just a Holy Hand Grenade away.

So the game franchise that humbled my competitive spirit is coming to the iPhone and iPod touch for just $5. The developers, Team 17, has packed the digital download full of wormy goodness. You get four-player action, multi-touch controls, and a number of extra goodies.

• 26 Weapons, tools and utilities including classic Worms weapons & iconic favourites such as the Holy Hand Grenade, Concrete Donkey, Sheep and Ninja Rope

• 6 great themes with randomly generated levels for unbelievable replay value.

• A range of ten game-play modes offering a range of game styles from traditional, hard-core, explosive, faster paced or deeper strategy.

• Create and name your own Worms. Give them a range of wacky voices & gravestones.

• Unlock new voices and rewards as you play through the single player challenges.

• Innovative Multi-Touch user interface, including pinch to zoom, two-finger scroll

• iPod music support, play your own music library in game, or enjoy the default music.

• Save game status on quit. This all-new feature automatically saves to the last turn if you exit the application and is great for longer battles.

• Fully localized in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch & Japanese.
