Yes, that's right, months after its release there are still new reviews being posted around the 'Net. The two reviews are fairly different, one being more positive and the other being more negative (although still has a 3 star rating, showing that star ratings are completely irrelevant and pointless).

Another disappointing aspect to this game is that the graphics aren't terrific and there are a number of bugs in the game. One of the bugs involves your minions sometimes running around in circles instead of attacking an enemy.This game also has multiplayer features that unfortunately do not stack up to make the game more interesting.

Overlord 2 is a wicked delight through and through. With the plot and superb dialogue penned by none other than Terry Pratchett's daughter, Rhianna Pratchett, and 20-odd hours of terror to bring upon the woolly heads of Nordberg's sorry denizens and beyond, this is a game that's going to keep you entertained far more than any of that other dribble you're currently playing.

While the flood of Overlord reviews have gone, a new one from the folks at cubed3.com have given their impressions of Overlord: Minions for the Nintendo DS.

Climax Studios have crafted an enjoyable adventure for DS owners, but the end result is not without its fair share of control and longevity hindrances. A successful combination of many styles of play, with a healthy dollop of British humour mixed in for good effect, it's definitely one to consider for fans of exploring and Overlord.

So if you're looking to get some feedback on Overlord: Minions, be sure to click here.

The Overlord series is fairly unique in the gaming world, allowing and in fact encouraging the player to be evil. How did you go about making a story based on evil but still keep it light-hearted and satirical?

I think it’s actually pretty easy to make evil fun, simply because you’re seeing the world from an unusual perspective, so there’s lots of scope for satire and parody. You’re hardly short of things to poke fun at! We made sure that the humour was layered throughout the game – from the gameplay and animation, right through the script and voice acting. So I think that made the comedy much stronger. The whole team was very much on the same page with the tone, and you can tell we had a tremendous amount of fun making the game.

A huge thanks to Rhianna for taking the time out of her exceedingly busy schedule to answer our questions. Click here to check out the interview as a whole, and be sure to stop by rhiannapratchett.com as well to learn a little more about her and what she's done.

For those of you who purchased Overlord II via Steam (and thus need Steam to run the game), an update has been released for the client. The changes are as follows:

Steam Client

Made connections to misbehaving content servers timeout and retry a new server correctly

Fixed the client sometimes forgetting a game exists after a content update on Steam

Fixed several rare crashes and memory corruption bugs

Workaround for a Firefox 3.5 bug where they activate random windows after minimizing which would confuse the state of some Steam windows

Fixed internet tab in the in-Steam ServerBrowser not updating sorting as more servers are refreshed

Fixed the first time launch "Installing ..." dialog which is shown while installing things like DirectX for a game taking too much CPU and making the install take a long time

Fixed the sorting of the games list to be case insensitive and fix the mini-games list to use the same sorting method as the full games list

Fixed Change User menu option not logging you out correctly

Fixed one case of downloads getting stuck

Fixed a potential crash in D3D8 games switching between windowed and full screen caused by the in-game overlay

Fixed unnecessary minidump when in offline mode

Fixed overlay bug where opening the overlay from an in-game menu (ie, Invite Friends in a L4D lobby) could result in the overlay opening and closing immediately if you had previously used the "Close" button in the overlay itself

The update can be applied by clicking the File menu inside of Steam and then select "Check for Steam Client Updates..."

Battle Rock Nemesis installs the imposing Battle Rock arena in the Netherworld which plays host to a series of new combat challenges. Gamers harvest life force as they wreak havoc upon Nordburg Hunters and Gnomes in practice rounds and then take on fearsome foes, including the Satyr, the Empire’s Champion, and the fabled Phoenix in a series of boss battles.

Defeat the bosses to unlock new rewards including more powerful spells and in-game items for the Overlord and his Minions. On Xbox 360, these boss battles are also worth an additional 100 gamerscore points and the associated Achievements.

Despite its annoying foibles, the entire Overlord II package adds up to a fun game that is hampered by some real issues (in the same way that the game's sound is, for the most part, solid). If you can get past the wonky camera and are content to micromanage your minions, as well as the targeting system, then Overlord II is an ideal way to spend some of your spare time if you want to be a little evil. After all, you'd probably get arrested if you try to club a baby seal in real life.

Across the sprawling game world you’ll encounter the likes of Little Red Riding Hood, gingerbread men and even the Tooth Fairy, each portrayed in Overlord’s irreverently tongue-in-cheek style by series writer Rhianna Pratchett. As with Overlords one and two, the game’s style is one of its most charming facets. The world is populated by the same healthy mix of effeminate Elves, obnoxious Halflings and gibbering peasants we’re used to from previous titles, and the game’s minions come scampering back to you with familiar glee when they come across treasure or potions. The character and charm of the Overlord series is alive and well in Dark Legend, and is portrayed well through the game’s solid writing and voice work.
