Codemasters' Overlord PC Demo Available Now

Taste of Minion Mayhem Comes to PC, Plus Desktop Minion, And Coming Soon... Rate My Evil

Unleash a Minion on your hard drive as Codemasters announced today the release of the Overlord™ playable demo for the PC. Available for download now, the Overlord demo gives PC gamers their first opportunity to see just how truly evil a ruler they can be. Overlord is planned to release June 26th for the PC and Xbox 360™ videogame and entertainment system from Microsoft, and is rated "T" (Teen - Blood and Gore, Crude Humor, Suggestive Themes, Use of Alcohol, Violence - content suitable for persons ages 13 and older) by the ESRB.

In the demo, players don the Overlord's illustrious armor and assemble a team of Brown Minions (the brawlers) to head off on a session of serious destruction in the once tranquil area of The Mellow Hills. Descending upon the unsuspecting populace and wildlife, the Overlord must use his loyal minions to gather life-force from the somewhat unwilling sheep, grow the size of his minion horde, and let the Halflings-gone-wild know there's a new boss in town. Top that off with Minion upgrades, including better weapons and pumpkin helmets, throw in some peasant intimidation and a show-down with the Guard Troll at the Slave Camp, and players will have a taste of the havoc that a Minion horde can wreak.

In addition to the demo, PC gamers can now adopt their very own Minion thanks to the new Overlord Desktop Minion e-toy. Also available from www.codemasters.com/overlord, simply download and install this nasty little bugger for the ultimate in Minion companionship and random abuse.

Lastly, coming soon gamers will be able to 'Rate My Evil' as an interactive leader board of nastiness goes live on the website. Users will be able to rank a series of famous people and characters in order of unpleasantness, and also upload photos of evil friends to add into the miserable mix.
