We've said it before, but we love the concept of Overlord. As its name implies, you play the Overlord, controlling your minions in order to wreak havoc and create general mayhem. We don't know much more than that honestly, but what more do you need? The graphics are clean and remind us more than a little bit of Fable's somewhat campy style (with a hint of The Horde thrown in for good measure). The minions we've seen so far remind us of Gremlins, snickering and generally causing a ruckus. See the new trailer after the break.
Haven't you ever wanted to loose your minion army onto some unsuspecting schlub's pumpkin patch? Hells yes, we say! Head over to Xboxygen for some fresh screens. You can find out more about the game at the official website.

Sweet...
been watching this game since I heard about it from OXM... Looks Badass.
I especially like the pumpkin headed Minions in the video. Pretty funny.

I've also been watchin' Overlord, drooling over every new morsel of information about this title. I'm so excited about this game, looks sweet.

The "Codemasters" part makes me wary, but everything else I've seen on this makes me want it.
I'm always up for some raping, pillaging, and general plundering.

Fun. I hope the game has as much humor as the promo. The last games I played with some good wacky humor were Armed and Dangerous and the OddWorld games. We need more like those.

Heh... The narrator for that trailer kind of sounds like George Takei (Sulu from Star Trek lol)
