Absolute power corrupts absolutely, or at least that's what Codemasters is looking to prove with the latest details of its action adventure Overlord. Set in a rich fantasy world brimming with black humour, players are free to rule the realm however they see fit. Those with an evil streak can set out to be the ultimate badass by reigning with a cruel fist, ordering their Minion army to cause wanton destruction and torture innocents for no reason whatsoever. Alternatively they can approach the game as a good guy, using the imps at their control to battle evil and save helpless townsfolk.
Valve has released their weekly top ten sellers list on Steam for the week ending on November 14.
There's not one but two big sales going on through Steam this weekend. Until Monday, you can pick up the Overlord and Crysis series for cheap through digital game store Steam.
In an interview with Strategy Informer, Creative Director on Overlord II Lennart Sas said that DLC is currently being worked on for the sequel, with an announcement coming soon.
Overlord II, Overlord Dark Legend, and Overlord Minions will be available from video game retailers in the United Kingdom as of tomorrow, the 25th of June. Heralding the arrival of the games, Codemasters have released a plethora of Overlord-related videos and wallpapers which can be seen at the official website.
Games On Net Writes: "Those of you who had previously pencilled in the 9th of July as the day when all the goodness from your body would wash away to facilitate your possession by Overlord II will be delighted to know that your evil plans will come to fruition seven days sooner than previously expected, on the 2nd of July, according the the latest release schedule we've received from Atari Australia, who are responsible for distributing the game across Australia."
