I just hope they will have the ability to re-visit the places you've visited with respawned stuff, for unlimited carnage and destruction to pleasure that sadistic part of you.

Seriously, that'd rock!

Wow, this game seems to have alot of fun features:

Quote:

Your tower acts as a base of operations from which you can upgrade your character, buy new weapons and powers, or just spend time pleasing your mistress. You'll find the tower heart within the first half hour of play, and you can then teleport to and from your castle and the land. You'll need to acquire gold from the land to buy anything in the house, and your mistress will help you choose the items and decorations that will adorn your home. You also need to keep your minions trained in attack by practising in the dungeon, and all of the enemies that you've slain will be held captive in here so that you can figure out new ways to destroy them. The tower will also display the various powers that you acquire during the game, displaying them as emblems on the wall of the main hall. We saw two examples of such spells during our playtest, one that set objects on fire and one that made enemies turn on each other or simply kill themselves

Did I just read MISTRESS? MISTRESS? Now that sounds like some nasty, whip-wielding and incredibly hot demoness, considering the evil-theme, not doesn't it?! Nyuhahahah...

Quote:

The easiest way to acquire gold is to kill, steal, and pillage everything you can, including innocent people. Follow this path, and you'll soon end up a rich Overlord, but your people will become fearful and your appearance will gradually grow darker. The Xbox 360 version's achievement points will be linked into your playing style, and the only way you can get all the points is to play through the game as both a horrible and a not-so-horrible Overlord.

"Follow this path, and you'll soon end up a rich Overlord, but your people will become fearful and your appearance will gradually grow darker."

Now doesn't that sound like another game we are all very, very familiar with around here...?

The only little gripe I've had with the demo is the way the camera was handled.

The same stick you "sweep" (manually control) your Minions is the same as you move the camera. If you move it, you control the minions and if you hold down the Left Bumper and move it you control the camera.

No biggie at all, and you'll probably get used to it after a while.

Thats the sign of a good demo

..........That..........W as.......Awesome......

I have another game to look forward to, now (Thank God I finally got X-Box Live >_<"). Between this and Two Worlds it looks like my two favorite games (well, aside from Dead Rising. And the Star Fox series...Nah, Elder Scrolls and Fable rank above those, but still :-P) finally have appropriate competition :-P

Xbox 360 is just going from strength to strength just as Xbox Live is also.

This game is wicked fun I love that the minions put pumpkins on their heads

too funny. This is a definite must have!

Its meh i wish you could fight without depending on your minons.

Albion Knight · 06-16-2007, 01:27 AM

It's so fun to send your minions to slaughter or soften up the enemy. If they all die you just spawn some more.

But then it wouldn't exactly be original, now would it? :-P

Besides, evil Dark Lord types usually don't get their hands dirty. Case in point: Sauron in Lord Of The Rings :-P (And most final bosses in most fantasy games :-P)
