Andy has been indulging in his darkest desires lately, exploring the world of Overlord and finding out just how good it feels to be bad. Has he truly turned to the dark side, or is Overlord: Raising Hell for the PlayStation 3 too bad to be good?

I found the control system to be the hardest thing to get to grips with in this game, and therefore found the game quite tough to get in to. But something akin to Dungeon Keeper is always good.

...I want Dungeon Keeper 3!

This slipped under my radar, and that's saying something given how much of a DK fanatic I am. So it begs the question, a worthy successor?

Flibblebot · 3rd Jul 2008, 13:04

I loved DK too, but they're only distantly related. Overlord is more about the exploring and conquering with none of the building of Dungeon Keeper.

A 'mature' Pikmin?

Spectacular idea!

Tris · 3rd Jul 2008, 13:32

i actually picked this up on the pc the other day after seeing it for a tenner on play - completely missed it when it came out and hadnt heard of it before, but i have been really enjoying it - simple but engaging, a great game to come home and just mess about on for a couple of hours.

Hmm must fire up DK 2 again at some point soon, thanks for the reminders

This looks interesting too btw

Exactly. Think Pimkin without the twee.

Love the game

I especially enjoy having my minions wear pumpkins on their heads hehehe

I think the control/camera system works a lot better on the PC btw

Timmy_the_tortoise · 3rd Jul 2008, 14:21

I may well get this game now... it's looking better and better...

Zorndar · 3rd Jul 2008, 15:28

I played the "first" game caused by the good article here at bit-tech. I never regret the 30 Euro i´ve spend, but raising hell has not enough extra content for me to spend another 45 Euros. But each one which hasn´t played it yet: BUY it. ^^

Bionic-Blob · 3rd Jul 2008, 18:26

bloody hell, took your long enough. this thing has been out for months. twas an awesome game though. i'll have to obtain this addon.

Flibblebot · 3rd Jul 2008, 18:50

It's been out for months for the Xbox360 & PC, it's only just been released for PS3 as a combo pack containing the original game and Raising Hell add-on in one. The Raising Hell add-on for the original PC/Xbox360 editions was released before Christmas.

Bionic-Blob · 3rd Jul 2008, 19:15

ah ok

Woodstock · 4th Jul 2008, 01:45

might have to have a look into grabing the pc version at some point

mikeuk2004 · 4th Jul 2008, 16:28

Brilliant game and great humor. Worth every penny

I still need to get the add-on as I have the 360 version. I only knew about the game when Doug posted the a thread last year about the 360 demo. If he didnt I would never of known about it.

Great game

Flibblebot · 4th Jul 2008, 17:17

The Raising Hell add-on for the 360 is available through XBL. I think it's something like 800 points, although don't quote me on that.

love how the last pic has a minion chugging some ale and another taking a whiz......
