yep

With Worms withhheld no more, we wildly wish to wager whether the wait was worth it. Whither the -- okay, forget this. Worms HD is releasing next Wednesday on Xbox Live Arcade for 800 MS Points ($10). Featuring four-player battles over Xbox Live, twenty single-player challenges and, perhaps most importantly, a large force of invertebrates intent on causing as much destruction as possible, Worms HD is one of the more anticipated XBLA titles this side of Dracula's castle.

The range of weapons appears to be more limited than previous Worms iterations (the absence of the Holy Hand Grenade is difficult to comprehend), but the online play should provide more than enough justification for the franchise's appearance on Xbox Live Arcade. Get hooked on it beginning March 7, 8AM GMT (1AM PST).

They release the same game without online for the DS and PSP for $30+. $10 is a great deal.
