Overlord Indulges Your Dark Side

Sure, being a good person is all fine and well. But what about being evil? Why doesn’t that get the respect it so deserves? While being evil in real life can have some pretty lousy consequences, video games seem like the perfect medium for getting out all those less-than-sunny urges that you should be, but aren’t, suppressing.

That’s why it’s nice to see a game like Overlord. It’s designed to allow you to be as evil as you want, and it even provides you with a legion of minions to do your dirty work for you. They’ll kill, maim, pillage, and steal at your whim, leaving your hands (relatively) clean. Overlord is all about using these minions to your advantage to build your dark rule over an empire. So put down that game you picked up about picking daisies or breeding puppies or whathaveyou and do what you know you really want to do: be pure evil.
