Overlord 360/PC DLC out today News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

15 February, 2008

Codemasters has unleashed a three-pronged Overlord downloadable content attack on Xbox Live.

Its chief minion is a fancy fresh single-player expansion ominously dubbed Raising Hell. This has you leading your army into the Abyss and setting about conquering Lucifer's kingdom, as you do. Raising Hell will cost 800 Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60).

Slightly cheaper at 400 Points (GBP 3.40 / EUR 4.80) is the Challenge Pack that will test your thumbs with a Legendary difficulty setting and seven new multiplayer maps.

The last prong is a free update that lets you play split-screen in multiplayer. Oh and you get a Rocky Race map.

Those of you after these hellish delights on PC grab the combined premium content from Metaboli now for GBP 4.99 (quite some saving, tut tut). The free update is there, too.

Overlord is strategic role-playing game where you trample through do-good settlements with your army of minions while building your tower and improving your military muscle.

We gave it 8/10, which is number-code for "good", and you can find out why in our Overlord review.

You can find some screenshots of Raising Hell in our Raising Hell gallery, which is rather obvious.

Riddled with a few annoying bugs, camera angles that can get frustrating and a control system that can beequally so.
But it's still a very fun game and at bargain prices you can't go wrong.

You became far too overpowered later in the game with the good gear, you ended up only needing your goblins for moving stuff.

Wow, I wasnt expecting Overlord to surface again. Thought is was a nice idea but didnt it kinda fade into obscurity rather quickly?

I'd gladly buy overlord again if the raising hell expansion is worth it. Is it?

Is this coming out on DVD? or is it just downloadable on the PC?
