And if that's the case, we need a PC game on thread.
Will it support Steam?
It'll be available on Steam, but it'll use Games For Windows Live for online functions.
According to Wiki, the NA date is July 7, but I still thought I'd mention that it's out in Europe this week.
Half the places I check have Street Fighter IV for PC coming out

Get hype!
Should get my copy today if fedex aren't lying bastards.
Let me tell you about Demon's Souls....
It's a game, and there are bots, and they run on steam.
Look, at least it doesn't go by the Japanese title: Bumpy Trot.
That right there sounds like a disease horses get.
Nothing for me to buy this week though, which is good for a broke bloke like me.

I didn't even know that there's a maximum impact 3.
edit: actually I'm not really sure right now.
Might be bullshit.
edit: Most likely bullshit.
Which is strange seeing that gamespot and IGN lists it with next to no information, but then again, it's gamespot and ign...
Worms Armageddon 2 trailer
Only 800 funbucks too! And this will tickle fighting-game fans already high on Garou—there's a possibility the second game this week is King of Fighters Ultimate Match 98.

Oh, I'll be buying it and playing, don't worry! The original Armageddon saw me through pretty much my entire four years in college. I had heard a lot of people saying the original XBLA Worms was really feature-light, which is why I held off on buying it, but this seems to have a shit-ton of stuff from Armageddon (Super Sheep! Holy Hand Grenade! Ninja Roooooope!) and extras to boot, and it's still only $10, which is what the original went for at first (I think the original is now $5? I could be wrong.)
The title makes more sense with it being a sequel for Worms for XBLA that also has stuff from WA.
Crap, I think you're right, actually: I double-checked Team17's announcement and it's actually "Worms 2: Armageddon."

It's a port of a two year old PC game called Infernal, so you can look up reviews for that as it's the same game. I played Infernal, it was okay, but mostly just a mediocre/average third-person shooter with some interesting powers.
If the 360 version is a good port, 40 bucks is probably about the right price for it, though if you have a decent PC, I bet you could find that version for much cheaper.
