Title: Three new Overlord games
Post by: Crushed on August 13, 2008, 10:39:51 PM
Overlord II (PS3/360/PC): http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/898/898516p1.html
Overlord Dark Legend (Wii): http://wii.ign.com/articles/898/898651p1.html
Overlord Minions (DS): http://ds.ign.com/articles/898/898652p1.html

I remember being really interested by the first one, but it just fell off my radar and I lost interest. I remember that the PC version got okay good reviews, but people seemed to like it.

It's on GameTap and Steam, should I give it a try?

I liked the quirky concept of the first one and the demo was pretty enjoyable, but it fell off my radar too.  Maybe with the second one they can hone the formula a bit.

I like it when developers try something a bit different.

The first one was pretty good stuff, but it did get repetitive.  Hopefully they can mix things up this time.

Overlord was a pretty good game, even if it was essentially a poor man's Pikmin.

As its three unique games and five different SKU's, I'm wondering if Codemasters is just going to shoot their wad and deliver a whole bunchca simultaneous Overlord games, or if they're going to stagger the releases and make for a year of Overlord.

Which would be the better way to do it?

pretty much my thoughts. I played the first one til I beat Oberon, but then I lost interest... May return to it some day.

One thing that's better in Overlord is that the minions can pick up gear that's scattered around

PS3's getting Overlord 2. Or does he have to only pimp Sony exclusives now?
