For all you all that don't know Overlord II will be out this month on the 23rd. For all you all who don't know what Overlord is well your missing out. The first Overlord was a fun romp through a fantasy world in which you get to be the bad guy. Think "Lord of the Rings" where you get to play as Sauron.
(Overlord from the first game.)Not only that but this delightful little video game pokes fun at a genre that, lets face it, kinda deserves it. (Don't get me wrong I'm a huge fantasy fan. But the fantasy genre, like all things, is not without it's foibles. (That's a weird word, foibles... anyway.)) But you get to control your own swarm of minions. Think Pikmin, if you haven't played Pikmin then I'm not sure how to explain it. And it's no meager swarm, you get up to fifty or so minions by the end of the game.
Overlord was one of those games where I find myself thinking, 'If they make a sequel I trust them not to screw it up.' That doesn't mean that they wont, but looking at previews I think it's a pretty safe bet that this game will be a good one. They don't even have to do much. If they just deliver more of the same I'll be happy. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
