Since my little brother introduced me to it over Christmas, I've been playing a LOT of Gunbound. It's like Scorched Earth with cutesy characters, online, and a purchasing system. I hear it's also like Worms. Everybody has a tank and controls angle and power to lob shots at each other until one team wins.
Many of the people on the servers are immature little kids (lots of 'lol', 'omg', l33t speak, and talk of gayness and moms), but it's still fun and you can turn your interactions with them into a side game - a 'how much can I mess with these guys' kind of side game. Note: if you choose a girl avatar, you'll have people asking you your age, where you're from, and permission to be added to your buddy list. It's annoying when they won't stop messaging you, but it's easier to mess with their heads.
