Video Game Review: Overlord for the PC and Xbox 360

This is an awesome adventure game that puts you in the place of a evil overlord bent on domination. This game doesn't give you much in the way of choices when it comes to good and evil, but it's not supposed to. Overlord is meant to find out how evil you can be in order to rule the world!

In Overlord, if you choose to do objectives in the game in a sissy way, all the characters in your party begin heckling you and sometimes they will even ignore you or run away when you tell your minions to complete a task that you can't complete alone. This game relies a lot on team work from your evil minions that fall you around and help you complete tasks like moving objects that block your way and defeating enemies before you get to them or if you cannot get to them.

The graphics in this game are a little better than average, but the creativity of the characters and the game world make up for the average graphics. The sound effects are awesome, like I said when you screw up your gang taunts you and they continuously babble broken and incoherent sentences.

One of my favorite things to do in Overlord is to make some of my enemies bow to me, it is an awesome fun booster to the game when you can make your enemies drop to their knees and profess how much better you are than them!! Along with amusing abilities such as the aforementioned ability, you can also create weapons and spells that will really help you later on in the game and for me, I love it when the game developers give you the ability to create your own weapons, spells and items, I feel it makes the game more enjoyable when I can get lost in making my own "Uber" weapons and spells! Overlord also offers online play when you can pit your Overlord against others for an all out battle!

Overall this game rocks, it doesn't matter if you play the Xbox 360 version or if you play the PC version, Overlord is one of the funniest games that I have ever played and would really recommend Overlord to everyone interested in an evilly awesome gaming experience! I would recommend this game for anyone looking for a game that offers many other options not found in the normal domination game!
