Recently, games have been considered somewhat of a very serious hobby and a lot of players have forgotten that, in the first place, games should entertain us with pure, mindless fun.

Some three new metal-eating worm species were found in landfills in the United Kingdom, thriving under layers of heavy metal rich deposits.

Clarke and Stanley Kubrick brought to light 2001: A Space Odyssey (novel, plus film). 40 years later, in 2008, which is about now after my estimations, Team17 Software brings to another - more modern, if I may say so - light its Worms 2008: A Space Oddity game.
