Quantcast



 A game after my own heart (raping, pillaging, and burninating lives deep in my soul), the upcoming Xbox 360/PC title Overlord is hard for me to ignore.

What first appeared to be "Oblivion for A**holes" is increasingly looking more and more like "Pikmin for Bullies." In Overlord, players control dozens of minions to carry out their evil deeds like looting and killing innocents. Say no more -- I'm sold.

Developer Triumph Studio's previous work includes the well received PC turn-based strategy title, Age of Wonders (and it's sequel and subsequent expansion). Still, I'm hoping there's less strategy involved in Overlord and more "kill a b**ch," because none of my minions in real life listen to a damned word I say.

Fuck yes. FUCK YES. Medieval 2 TW is probably my #1 best game of all time. This game could brutally rape that standing.

Given that the screenshots show demon looking creatures with pointy teeth and a general bad attitude...

I'm going to say a bunch of 6-8 year old rich suburban white kids.

Funny thing is, you could defeat them all with an iPod nano and a quick insult on their MySpace page.

@Snaileb, Bahamut

So, now, are we in one of those cursed ring things where we change bodies, get mixed up and can't tell who's who anymore?

If so, I wanna wind up in the hot cheerleader's body.
