Considered to be one of the most popular multi-player franchises of the 1990’s the Worms series has grown in leaps and bounds in recent years. The latest installment Worms Armageddon makes its way onto the mobile platform GameBoy Color. Thankfully because of the 2-dimensional nature of Worms the GameBoy conversion is in essence a well translated conversion. It is only due the GameBoy’s small screen that there is a slight drop in the visual quality of this title. After casting this minor downfall aside it will soon become apparent that this version of Worms has retained the hugely engrossing game play that made it so popular. Worms Armageddon consists of a large number of what appear to be random environments. You must learn to use these environments as best you can to destroy the opposing worms through a multitude of offensive weapons some of which are suicidal. You can also alter the settings to balance the games’ elements of fun and strategy. Thanks to Nintendo’s handy link cable you can now compete against real-life enemies in a cunning worm scramble. If you’re a fan of worms or anything remotely related to fun then Worms Armageddon will be enjoyable for many of you.

The beat-em-up genre has become one of the most popular due to games like Mortal Kombat 4 for the Gameboy Color. This version allows you to take the ultra violent gameplay anywhere you like. In MK4 you can choose from eight initially selectable characters to take part in the ultimate tournament. When Mortal Kombat was released it was the first fighting game to feature realistic digitised Kombatants and over the top violence with the introduction of fatalities. When one person wins the best of three rounds s/he has the opportunity to ‘finish’ their opponent in all manners of unspeakable nastiness. This caused public outcry as ripping heads off tends to offend. There is a difference between video games and real life however it’s best to be forewarned. On the other hand fatalities can be great fun and they put the icing on the cake of very close matches. Mortal Kombat 4 has a lot of hidden features and moves for you to find. This is a wonderful incentive to keep on playing long after you’ve completed the game. Finding a new fatality or character is a great feeling. MK4 is one of the few games on the Gameboy to offer speech. Which is an achievement in itself. If you’re looking for portable fighting fun look no further.
