Interview :: Codemasters - Overlord - Xbox 360 & PC

[Steven W]

We hooked up with Codemasters to talk to them about their upcoming action adventure, Overlord, a game in which you have two life path choices - to be evil, or to be really evil!

Check out this Interview

smells a bit like black and white.. only darker

Yeah sounds good, bit of a laugh rather than the usual round of games out at the moment, like Viva Pinata.

Seems like finally developers are bored of some of the franchises.

[Blademrk]

Sounds like a cross between Dungeon Keeper and Fable to me. Looks like it could be pretty good.

[Steven W]

Someone compared it to Pikman on the GameCube. I've never heard of it though. Definitely a bit of Fable in there, but it's not free-roaming at all.

It looks great fun, but we weren't allowed to play it, so I didn't really want to give my impressions when they might not be too accurate. It's easy to get excited about something by looking at it, but then it might actually be boring to play.

It's certainly different to anything I've seen on the Xbox 360 and it does look as though it will be a good laugh to play.

Should have preview code coming soon, so I'll write up full impressions then.
