Worms

Don’t trust anyone who doesn’t smile when they think about this turn-based artillery romp. Worms has thrown in classes and physics, and even had a brief misguided dalliance with 3D graphics, but ultimately it’s always been about one thing: Murdering worms. It’s was an all-time great multiplayer game, and developer Team17 continues to get a great deal of mileage out of its clumsy invertebrates and their ever-expanding cartoonish arsenal. Exploding sheep, holy hand grenades, concrete donkeys, missile strikes, even StreetFighter’s dragon punch—the only issue is how long it takes to pick one. Luckily Worms also kept things ticking along, letting you set some much-needed time limits.
