Team17 recently announced Worms: Ultimate Mayhem, an attempt to mesh and repackage two of their three attempts to bring the Worms series kicking and screaming into the third dimension where it had no business being in the first bloody place.

A peculiar decision, especially considering that even now Worms Armageddon, released in 1999 and widely considered the pinnacle of the series, is played online by tens of thousands more players in a day than Worms 4: Mayhem is played in a week.

Perhaps more peculiar is Bit-Tech/BitGamer’s decision to run the news story with a trailer for Worms Reloaded, which, you may well know, is the 2D Worms game released at the tail end of last year (and is actually itself a port of the XBLA/PSN release Worms 2: Armageddon from 2009).
