By Gavin Mannion
March 14, 2007 - 19 years ago

 Cynamite.de has managed to get their grubby paws on a PS3 PAL release console and so they tested the back compatability on it..

Some interesting news of the net, PS3 Home was actually created for the PS2 until they realised the power of the system and that it might be a system seller. If this is true though why was it not ready for the PS3 launch then? Why has it taken so long to get going. If they had launched with PS3 …

March 12, 2007 - 19 years ago

 So IGN has reviewed Worms and unfortunately it has come out lacking. They complained bitterly about the net code, lack of games, slow speed and general not wormy feeling in the end. Take the old 2D Worms games, subtract most of the cool weapons and a few features, add in some network errors and you’ve got Worms on Xbox Live …
