Alexian Nox writes, "Overlord II is cute, it's funny ... more than anything, it's random, but little else can be said in favor of it. This is a direction that RTS titles honestly shouldn't take. That said, try it out for yourself and see if you disagree, as it can't hurt you to blow a few minutes riding wolves and clubbing seals."

We've been trying to get a handle on the plethora of PlayStation games that will be on display from June 2 through June 4, and it's quite astounding. If you weren't excited about the prospect of new announcements for the PlayStation brand, what if we told you there will be over 75 unique PlayStation games on display - that we know about?! While many are multiplatform titles (though the best still appear to be Sony-exclusive), it is a large increase from last year's showing."

PS3 - Overlord II - PETA's really going to hate Overlord II

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has a fairly well-known track record when it comes to video games. They inexplicably don't mind punting chickens in Fable 2, defenseless chickens that are no threat to your character whatsoever, but they have a big problem with defending yourself from vicious dogs that are trying to bite your nuts off in Call of Duty: World at War.
