Despite its numerous flaws, it was still one of the more interesting titles of the year. Finally the game has made it's way to the PS3, in supposedly a slicker, more polished form. Is the PS3 update worth your time and money?
For those of you who are not familiar with the game, the premise is nice and simple. You take on the role of the evil Overlord and you must bring evil and mayhem to the kingdom in order to rebuild your evil tower. Now I realise that I have used the word 'evil' a fair bit already, and I would just like to clarify something. Although the game is focused on evil deeds, these are not dark, twisted evil deeds, rather they are more humorous evil deeds. This brings me on to one of the things that I found so great about the game; the humour.
It is obvious right from the start that this is not going to be a very serious game, as the loading screens show all manner of crazy minions doing crazy things such as riding sheep. This theme is made even more obvious when you spend most of your tutorial beating ten tons of hell out of your court jester (although he does call you horrible names, so in my opinion he thoroughly deserves the beating)."
