For an early peek at Overlord before its June 26th debut on the PC and Xbox 360, click over to www.codemasters.com/overlord and download the newly released playable PC demo from Codemasters. In the demo, you get a brief chance to see what it’s like to rule the lands with an evil streak by commanding a team of loyal minions to perform your wicked desires, including destroying farms and wildlife, sucking life-force from poor little sheep and smacking some Halflings around.
I just finished playing through some of the demo myself and I must say I’m impressed with its unique play mechanics and beautiful visuals. If you aren’t a PC gamer, Codemasters also released a demo for the Xbox 360 version on the Live Marketplace this past Friday. Either way, I’d highly recommend giving the game a look if you haven’t already. I’ll definitely be looking forward to getting my hands on the final release here in a couple of weeks.
While you’re here, be sure to watch our stream of the latest Overlord trailer footage to see more of what this promising title will have to offer.
Mmmm….Overlord…I almost don’t wanna play the demo so I can just be completely surprised when the game releases.
