A loose plot follows with Jim trying to defeat the evil queen slug-for-a-butt in order to save the beautiful princess what’s her name. Our hero comes in the form of a regular earthworm (called Jim surprisingly) who finds himself endowed with super strength and a handy plasma blaster when an experimental super suit falls on top of him from outer space. This HD remake is the most recent release since then, but is a reboot enough to renew faith in the franchise?

Then after a successful sequel that built on the existing formula, we were subjected to the uninspired mediocrity of Earthworm Jim 3D A game that seemed to just rip-off every other 3D platformer out there and fell flat because of it. That game was Earthworm Jim, a title that had its own distinct flavour and brand of humour that helped set it apart from the rest of the crowd. Simply strap into the Ultra-high-tech-indestructible-super-space-cyber-suit (Super Suit for short) and be prepared to take down Psy-Crow! Earthworm Jim HD will be hitting the PlayStation Network on July 28th at an awesome price of €9.99/£7.Back in the mid-90s a little known 2D platformer housed those searching for a little something outside the realms of Sonic and Mario.

If you don’t recall ever playing Earthworm Jim, I can only shake my head with utter sorrow. Remember playing Earthworm Jim during the glorious 16-bit era?
