Good stuff! Overlord was highly underrated by many.

Overlord is a very fun game, and if it's given a bit more range and depth the second one could be a classic!

So... it did sell enough for a sequel.
I thought the demo was OK, so I'll keep an eye open on this one.

the first game was very good, very funny, and also, i thought a beautiful looking game!

but they're right, they did bottle a bit at the end, when it turns out you used to be a hero

i did love despoiling villages though

Gonna play through Overlord 1 soon going for the pure evil route... Very good game and very worthy of a sequel.

Good news Codies. :)

My mum will be pleased - she bought a 360 just for Overlord and hasn't played the bloody thing since she finished it!!

sounds good.
liked the demo of the first game, but didn't buy it then, because all the reviews reveiled, that you're not really evil...

looking forward to this.

I was hoping they'd do a new Age of Wonders game, guess I'll have to go back to waiting for master of magic 2. (Along with Tie Fighter 2, Ultima 10, Baldur's Gate 3, Max Payne 3, I know, i like me sequels)

I nearly bought the first one but I seem to remember it arriving during a very busy release schedule.

I may well pick this up when it comes out.

Quint2020: I think you're right, came out near Bioshock IIRC.

I was pretty underwhelmed by the demo for OL, so never bothered with the full game. I'm not so bothered about being 'more evil', what I want to hear is that it has deeper, more interesting gameplay.

"Now the choices are between lawful evil and chaotic evil"

Sounds like someone has been playing too much D&D.
