Quantcast



Codemasters' Overlord II is nearly upon us, and I am looking forward to it significantly, thank you very much. In anticipation of the hopefully excellent sequel, two brand new videos have been unleashed. A second developer diary, and a trailer that shows off the game's enemies. Yes, one of the opponents is a giant panda.

The latest dev diary concerns itself with the game's most important facet -- the Minions. It explains what happened to the little buggers after the destruction of the original Overlord tower, and they are promised to be more destructive and funny than last time. The biggest improvement is the ability to possess and take direct control of a Minion. Should be a good laugh. 

Hit the jump for the latest videos, and check out the fresh batch of new screenshots, too.

I wasn't expecting to do anything more than a smirk, but the baby seal clubbing made me lol.

Meh, I really didn't like the first one, and from the looks of those videos and screenshots, the sequel doesn't seem much different.

Just waiting until PETA start bitching around just because you can use the guts of a panda to make a necklace.
Those freaking hippies.

PS: About the question, HELL [Y]!!
