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 like it when developers try something a bit different.

Post by: HyperZoneWasAwesome on August 14, 2008, 07:00:18 AM: 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
