Codemasters released some new screenshots and a teaser trailer for Overlord recently. The game is due out on the Xbox 360 and PC this summer. You can view the new screens and teaser video at http://www.codemasters.com/overlord.
Fancy having a horde of totally loyal minions to fetch, fight and
even die for you? With Overlord(tm), coming to the Xbox 360(tm) video
game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PC this summer, you
can.

Overlord(tm) gives you an army of little critters to control and
order around to do your dirty work, while you get on with the real
business of leadership; amassing wealth, lording over people and
taking it easy.

And the thing with minions is that they grow alongside you, getting a
bit more evil and powerful as you do. Their loyalty knows no limits
and their bravery borders on stupidity but, with every bone in their
odd little bodies, they will follow your command no matter how
despotic or, for the minions, life-threatening it is.

Amass an army...

- Brown Minions (the fighters) - these are the strongest minions in
general combat. They pick up equipment from defeated foes and use it -
pitchforks, severed unicorn horns, that type of thing.

- Red Minions (the fire throwers) - these minions are like archers
who hurl blazing fireballs to defeat opponents from a distance. Also,
immune to fire, they can clear dangerous paths for the rest of your
horde.

- Green Minions (the assassins) - they love stealth attacks. They'll
get behind an enemy, jump on its back and then stab it; great for
ambushes. They're also immune to poisoning and can turn rubbish left
on the battlefield into upgrades.

- Blue Minions (the Healers) - the smartest of the minions and the
only ones who can swim. They can also resurrect fallen minions, ready
to join the fight once again.

Use them tactically and your minions will always be there for you,
ready to sacrifice themselves just to save your illustrious
Overlord(tm) arse!

Check out the all-new teaser video and screenshots and start scheming
your evil plans!  http://www.codemasters.com/overlord
