  Worms (computer game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Worms is a series of turn-based computer games with the common theme of players each controlling a small platoon of worms across a two-dimensional (and, in more recent games, three-dimensional), deformable landscape.
A worm dies when it enters the water (either by falling off the island, or through a hole in the bottom of it), or when its health is reduced to zero by, most commonly, contact with explosions.
Worms 2, despite being the first of the 2-D series, is by far the most customizable of the Worms games with a very extensive set of detailed settings and toggles.

 Worms 3D for PlayStation 2 Review - PlayStation 2 Worms 3D Review
Worms 3D is a pretty good strategy game, but taking the game into full 3D seems to have actually detracted from some of the depth found in the 2D games.
Since all of the maps in the Worms games have been bound on all sides by water, one of the most practical strategies is to just knock a worm into the drink rather than try to whittle away at its health, since, as we all know, worms can't swim.
Worms 3D is faithful to the trappings of its predecessors, almost to a fault.

Worms 3D puts in a good effort to introduce a third dimension into the formula without losing the strategy and the silliness that defined the series, but frankly, the 2D Worms games of yore were just better.

 WORTHPLAYING - - All about games !
Fans of the Worms franchise may be disappointed to discover that the comical yet visceral feel of the past Worms games are slightly diminished due to the fact that the action is more puzzle oriented and the game play occasionally unwieldy.
Visually, Worms Blast looks remarkably similar to that of recent Worms games in that the backgrounds are very colorful and cartoon-oriented while the worm you controls is capable of a multitude of humorous animations and spunky quips.
Though when you consider that the foundational game play is fraught with unresponsive controls and the single-player experience just isn’t that fun, you’re left with a game that is practically only worth playing when it’s in the two-player mode.
