New XBLA releases for September 28, 2011

Wednesday! That of course means new releases on the Xbox Live Arcade. Let's take a look at this weeks crop of games... Probably the most notable is Worms Ultimate Mayhem. If you've played the angle and fire turn based worms game before you're in for a bit of a change. 3D gameplay. It is supposed to preserve some of the turn-based aspects though. I'll have to try out the demo. I was never really too keen on the Worms or Worms clone games. The other two games are: a sort of racing game where you slide a blob of goo or mercury around a course called Mercury Hg and a baseball game with encephalitic baseball players called MLB Bobblehead Battle. Oh, I get it, Hg is the periodic symbol for Mercury. Clever. Anyway, scroll below for more details.
