Quantcast



Overlord II is almost upon us, and Codemasters has helpfully eased us back into the fun-packed world of evil tyranny by producing some helpful "Minionstry of Information" videos. These handy guides will give you a refresher course in your Overlordly powers, readying you for the full game when it ships later this month.

The first two videos are found after the jump, and discuss the use of your minions and your own set of skills as an Overlord. Also do make sure to check out the demo, which was released on Xbox Live this past week!

Not going to lie, the fact that you get three mistresses this time is pretty awesome.

also, clubbing baby seals ftw.

Jim, you forgot to mention that the demo was released at the same time on PSN.

When's the PC demo out, I say. Played the demo on the 360, but I crave sharper visuals and a higher frame rate. The 20th can't come soon enough.

It was also released on the PSN, as Mechayakuza said. That being said, the game looked... Off. I somehow recall the original game looking MUCH better on my Xbox 360. I'll have to download the Demo there and give it a shot to see if I get the same effect or not. If I do, then I say screw this thing, it better have Games For Windows LIVE and i'm getting it on the PC.

@Kakihara_The_Killer:
You stole my name! I've been using this name for 6 years, and now I know why I couldn't use it on PSN when I registered 2 years ago. I can forgive you... I guess. :)

Multicolored minions with different abilities? Pikmin, much?

"Don't Delay, be evil today!" Lol.
