You there, are you different from Worms Reloaded?  How are you different?  What's the meaning of this?

If you can't tell if it's different than its predecessor based on the description of the game, something's wrong with the game.

It appears to be the same game as Worms Reloaded...not sure why the name-change.

Not quite...there is no online multiplayer. Maybe it's a steamless version of the game?

Ah, didn't see that.  I was wondering if Steam had something to do with it, so that does make some sense.  (Although the Mac App Store version of Civ V isn't called Civ V Special Edition...).
