Absolute power corrupts absolutely, or at least that's what Codemasters is looking to prove with the latest details of its action adventure Overlord.

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.
