The life of a reviewer might seem pretty cushy to you lot. Sure, we get free games, but there's a downside that you must consider. First of all, we have to play a bunch of wank like Velvet Assassin, and secondly, we get to miss out on hot pre-orders like this one. Gamestop is offering a free Minion figurine to anybody pre-ordering Overlord II, Overlord Dark Legend and Overlord Minions. My envy is incalculable.
One of four random Minions will be yours if you pre-order any of the three games, and they look pretty damn adorable. There has to be another way for me to get my clammy hands on these little bastards, since my massive Overlord fanboyism compels me to possess them.
We have shots of all the little scamps, so check out the gallery. Let us know what you think while I consider pre-ordering the game and canceling the day before release so I can get the free stuff.

Oh, now i remember, we are a shitty 3rd world hellhole.
Nice figurines though.
The people who want a game bad enough will pre-order it anyway. How will a horrid little gremlin-like figure attract newcomers?
Maybe it's an American thing... Pre-Order ain't big in Britain. Chances are there'll be enough of anything on release day to just pick it up when you want it. Even the Wii on release day was cluttering shelves here.
