Abstract: Overlord is a third-person action-adventure game developed by Triumph Studios and published by Codemasters. The game was in development for over a year and a half which began in early 2006. The end result is a fairly clever and original game that has g...
Overlord: Raising Hell is not the worst game of this ilk, but it surely does not match the work of Molyneux’s famed Fable for the Xbox, nor does it approach the work of the PS3 exclusive Heavenly Sword. It is a nice diversion for a week or so, but f...
