It probably wasn't included because it was given away with the last bundle, but yeah -- Reloaded was possibly the best overall release of Worms (depending on whom you ask). It's a 2D version whereas later releases moved to 3D I think? Anyway, Revolution has received some good reviews as well, and it sports a new engine. I haven't given it a try yet as I've got too much else going on.
after buying the last bundle and playing a little of Worms Reloaded, I came to the conclusion that the definitive experience was the 1995 game... because at that time it was completely new and I was a teenager.
today the same feeling can not be re-created. so sad.... let me go play something else with nice GFX now. :D
Worms Armageddon, despite being the oldest game on the list, is the definitive Worms experience. It's really good, and graphically still looks ok (it's been updated to support modern resolutions). Everything else that has come after has tried to "reinvent" the same game, with varying levels of success. (Reloaded and Revolution are both decent, but ultimately don't add much over Armageddon.) If you've never played it, just get it now and ask questions later.
I agree, I bought the last bundle and have been playing it on Android and I can't tell the difference between reloaded and Armageddon (which I have played a lot in the past). That's not really a bad thing, it seems to be just as good.

You mentioned Worms Reloaded was the 'definitive' Worms edition in your last Humble review Jarred. But Reloaded isn't included here?JarredWalton - Thursday, October 31, 2013 - link

Worms World Party is the definitive version...although it is nearly identical to Armageddon.Navvie - Tuesday, November 5, 2013 - link
For me the bundle is worth it for the Alien Breed titles.
