RUNNERS UP: Bioshock, Okami, Heart of the Alien, Beyond Good & Evil, the Metroid series, Mirror's Edge, and the works of Warren Spector. Just had to stop at some point. Okami and Heart of the Alien I don't find particularly fun (compared to others on the list), but both..."

Right on the heels of yesterday's news, a fourth installment in the much-loved Earthworm Jim series has been officially announced. Doesn't look like this one will be cancelled like the PSP version by Atari last year either, as creative consultant TenNapel has also said a feature film and revival of the cartoon (the original of which was also produced by them) is in the works.

A couple weeks ago, publisher Interplay had planned revivals for several of its properties. The first step probably is to game the previous games onto the Virtual Console.

Interplay announced today that four of its Genesis games library will be headed to the Virtual Console: Earthworm Jim, Boogerman, and Clayfighter.

While no specific dates have been announced, they are slated for a 2008 release.
