I found levelling in the game to be extremely slow to the point of tedium. Perhaps this was because of me implementing my own strategies as to how I wish to build my dungeon, or perhaps the game was designed this way.

I consider myself a frequent visitor of Facebook. How frequent Well, the fact that I'm constantly checking to see what everyone's up to when I have nothing else going on, and even when I'm working on other projects, I tend to spend quite a bit of time on there.

While most genre-bending games are content to dissemble just one convention, Overlord takes on two. Not only does it attempt to subvert how you perceive Tolkien-esque high fantasy by essentially putting you in the role of the dark lord Sauron, but the game also plays like a real-time strategy game...

Good-looking high-fantasy setting; Watching minions wreak havoc is fun; Uniquely blends RPG and RTS conventions

Occasional objectives that require more speed and precision than the controls can muster; Could stand to be a little more evil

It's not very often that this jaded reviewer is surprised by a video game. And yeah, you've guessed it, Sherlock, I was (pleasantly) surprised by Overlord. The newest game from a Dutch and American game development team known as Triumph Studios (creators of the Age of Wonders series), is a mixture...

Overlord is an adventure-RPG with solid fundamentals, beautiful graphics and tons of innovative features. But above all, it's packed with humor and is quite simply...

The anti-climactic storyline may be a bit painful to watch for those that take the series to heart. It is a pity that Electronic Arts failed to realize that we actually care about what happens to GDI, Nod and even the new Scrin faction.

In Overlord it's good to be bad… really, really bad.

I'm sick to death of Company of Heroes and Command & Conquer type games, where I can't even process a full thought before having to fling units all over a map in panicked desperation, so this game (and series) is exactly what I've been craving.
