“Overlord 2” Screenshots and Trailer

Overlord 2 came out late last month in North America and Europe but was only released in Australia yesterday.  It’s the sequel to the video game Overlord and is available on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.  If you’re a Wii or DS gamer, don’t fret.  It might not be the same thing but you can pick up Overlord: Dark Legend and Overlord: Minions for the Nintendo consoles.

The actual gameplay is pretty similar to the first game but you might enjoy the new ability to put use your evil powers via the brand-new corruption system through either Domination or Destruction.

The Minions are just as comical as ever but they have been revamped.  They definitely are stronger and deadlier than in the first game.  One thing that’s pretty cool is that they can ride wolves and other magical creatures (even into battle!).

This third-person action-adventure title includes four multiplayer games (two co-op and two versus) complete with their own distinct maps.

I don’t know if I think this is the best third-person action-adventure game I’ve ever seen but it does look fun (the Minions sorta remind me of the Gremlins at times).  There are better games out there, for sure, but if you liked the first one, this is probably worth trying.
