Has anyone played Band of Bugs?  Opinion?

Never played BoB.  Is Earthworm Jim a new game or a remake of the old one?

Band of Bugs is slow and boring, a tedious challenge. I'm a massive fan of the turn based strategy but this gets no love from me. Vandal Hearts is a much better TBS on LIVE.

I might get Earthworm Jim and Centipede, i have Worms already (i should see the vet)!

I took a look.    I thought it was pretty funny, but I am a bit odd.  I might have to get that.
