A trio of Xbox Live Arcade games are about to go budget, as Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Worms and Feeding Frenzy look to be getting a permanent 50% discount.

The Worms Game Cake

fdemarco — Sat, 19 May 2007 13:00:00 EDT

You might think that worms and cake are not something you'd want to put together, but Kotakuite Stuart W. has changed all that. For his 21st birthday, Stuart and his dear Mum put together this great cake based on his favorite game, Worms. Not only is it an awesome cake, but it has a pirate theme as well which always goes over big here at Kotaku tower. As far as game cakes go, this is definitely one of the most detailed ones we've seen in a while. Great job, Stuart, and your mom too. Oh, and Happy Birthday! Flynn De Marco More »

Worm Infestation Threatens Xbox Live Arcade

Mike Fahey — Wed, 08 Nov 2006 16:40:47 EST

Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, guess I'll go play Worms. Team 17's classic multiplayer war game nears completion for deployment on over Xbox Live. For the uninitiated, Worms is a 2D game where you take control of a team of armed invertebrates and use the awesome power of trajectory VS. wind speed to lay waste to your opponents. I like to pretend the 3D console versions never actually happened. Martyn Brown, creative director of Team 17 in the UK, has this to say on their forums: More »
