Overlord Franchise - Weekend Deal( 75% off )

[Prospero]

You can pick up both games and the first expansion pack for just shy of 9 bucks. The first was a good romp.

[Azazel]

Just picked this up - thanks for the heads-up!

[Samwise]

Bought.  I liked Overlord 1, so even if Overlord 2 is just more of the same it's gotta be worth at least $9.

Can you play overlord on PC with a 360 controller?

[Prospero]

Yuppers. Works well.

Between this and the Crysis deal, DAMN YOU STEAM. I have too many games!

[schild]

This I'll be getting, though it's they're not terribly good games.

Crysis is a terrible game.

When I rented the 360 version of Overlord I returned it after one night, but I'm thoroughly enjoying the PC version. I remember the controls working pretty well on the console, so I'm not sure why I like it now vs. then. Maybe it looks better on PC? Even if I grow bored of this tomorrow, the minions already gave me my $8.75 worth of amusement.

I completely don't get this game.

Half the time I'm rolling around like a God, with an army of guys swarming everything down in a second.  Nothing can stand in my way, and the game seems awesome.

Then they all get instakilled by something, and I'm stuck backtracking for ten minutes to resummon them, or I have to chase bugs to re-acquire essences, or try and do something without any minions...  Ugh.  I'm so confused.

Also, why do teleport points disappear once you beat the area?  I'm out of fire essence, but if I want to go back to the fire cave, I'll have to walk all the way over there?

Still, totally worth the $10.

Using the correct type of minions for each different battle makes a huge difference,

and keeping your browns forward and your red and blue guys back is crucial too.
