Videogamer: Overlord Hands-on

Videogamer writes: "Overlord proved to be an entertaining if not completely successful action/strategy game on its release for Xbox 360 and PC last year. Its combination of action genre elements with RTS-lite gameplay proved to be a winning formula, but a formula PlayStation 3 owners weren't able to experience. That is soon to change with the release of Overlord: Raising Hell for the PS3, which adds all the Xbox 360 game's DLC to the original release and makes a few improvements to the gameplay and presentation.

To summarise, Overlord sees you controlling a horde of monstrous minions as you struggle to gain control of the kingdom. It's all very tongue-in-cheek, so even though you're slaughtering farm animals and villagers, you can't help but do so with a smile on your face. If a children's cartoon series was created on the topic of world domination in a fantasy realm, it'd be like this.

Gameplay is a mix of choosing the correct minions for the job (there are four very different types: browns, reds, greens and blues) and simply overpowering your foes with sheer numbers. Minions can either be pointed in a certain direction or manually controlled using the right analogue stick, while the Overlord himself is controlled like a traditional hack 'n' slash character. It all works pretty well and is unlike any other game available on the PlayStation 3."

Btw, Zombie Shooter 2 just came out on steam too. It's basically Alien Shooter 2 Reloaded but zombies. I bought it for $10 but the Alien version just seems a lot better. Buy it later for less... like when it drops to $5.

Yeah must be all talk, because every single pc gamer in the world was going to boycott it aye?

Or maybe it was a small minority.
