Read More »Worms Revolution can now be pre-ordered through the Playstation Store. You, yes you, can own a copy starring everybody’s favorite invertebrates. There’s an obvious joke that could be made about a spineless hero, but I feel as though Duke Nukem has had to go through a lot, so I’ll take the high road.
