Overlord 2 Out on Retail Now
Jun 25
Overlord II is a 2009 third-person action-adventure game and sequel to the 2007 video game Overlord, developed by Triumph Studios and published by Codemasters for the Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. All versions were released in North America on June 23, 2009, then later in Europe on June 26 and Australia on July 9, 2009, along side two spin-offs; Overlord: Dark Legend and Overlord: Minions for the Wii and the Nintendo DS respectively.
Like Overlord before it, Overlord II ‘s plot is written by Rhianna Pratchett and follows the events of the first Overlord, where players will take control of the previous Overlord’s son (known as the Overlad), implied during the ending of Overlord: Raising Hell who as an infant has been smuggled away to the frozen mountain lands of Nordberg from a Roman-inspired civilization known currently as the “Glorious Empire”, bent on eradicating or enslaving known magical creatures. Other races set to appear thus far include thieving Gnomes and environmental activist motivated Elves, this allowing other elements besides fantasy such as politics, environmental issues and similar real-world problems to be parodied within the game.
So yeah, I finally got around to installing the game. First thing I saw was this dinky looking menu screen. I hated it. But what can you do? The game almost got scrapped before. To think I almost never got to play this game. Good thing Atari finally picked it up. I was looking forward to seeing these guys in action again. Specially since they assembled the old cast back together. At first when I was playing the game I thought they left out Winston Zeddemore since there are only supposed to be 4 Ghostbusters. So I was like, they left out the black guy? LOL. Then later on, after playing the game some more, he was ‘supposedly’ in a theatre watching some play or some smack like that.
The loading time wasn’t that long. It was pretty fast actually. But considering I was actually running it on my WD Velociraptor hard drive, nothing really loads forever. For regular computers, it won’t take forever. The game’s based on directx 9 so it won’t be too heavy on the hardware. It’s not really a native directx 10 game since the only thing there that is directx 10 are the soft particles.
