360 - Overlord - Overlord on the PC lets you escape the console tax

Ben Kuchera of ArsTechnica writes:

"Frank and I are both in love with the Overlord demo, and he called the review. That means I have to play the game on my own time, which I'm more than happy to do. I looked up the price for the game, and suddenly I'm very glad I have the Opposable Thumbs gaming rig. The 360 version comes in at the expected $60, while the PC version is listed at EBGames with a $40 price tag. That's a $20 difference between the two versions."

Overlord Brings out Your Evil Side

360 - Overlord - Overlord Brings out Your Evil Side

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.
