  • Major Rebirth

    Cool beans. Added to my Download Queue! Can’t wait to get home from work and download & play it!

  • MACPH1ST0

    Wow what a pleasant surprise! I’ve been eagerly awaiting this game after having a blast with the first one! Any more cool E3 demos we can look forward to? :)

  • MACPH1ST0

    Major, your link’s broken. Here’s the correct link: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/media/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802434d0809/

  • AndrewTerry

    Great news! I’ve been looking to forward to more Minion antics!

  • DarkTear81

    How about a good demo (not meaning something Halo-Like)…?

  • Euphoric Fusion

    Is this really all we are gonna get from E3 in the way of demos?
    No Forza 3? No Crackdown 2? Something good like that.

  • El Cid

    Link is not working for me as of 7:20 am E.S.T.

  • Goodeye84

    People Major’s link isn’t working if you read the other comments you would have seen this link:

    Forza would be nice but theres no chance in hell we’ll get a crackdown 2 demo anytime soon. Ruffian games only started not too long ago so they havent been working on the game long enough to be at a stage where a demo is posible.

  • Chitwood7412

    Cool worth a try. Major, also Cellfector went up some time last night, so you may wanna make a post on that.

  • Matthew M G

    Um, DarkTear81, Overlord II is anything BUT Halo-esque. And the first Overlord was a great (though flawed) evil Pikmin-type game. Though, if they’re including a mini-map, that’s easily a 75% improvement over the first game right there!

    Can’t wait to try this out.

  • wolfzero01

    cool, I had already pre-ordered it, but love that I get to play around with it right now.
    I really hope that they made the Overlord character move better than the last one, felt like he was just some big lumbering oaf.

  • Eag1e Ey3

    finally a demo from E3, hope there is a couple more on the way.

    ^^attention starved

  • JetMist

    Cool, but I really want a Prototype demo. Please…pretty please?

  • Lucifonz

    CellFactor: Psychokinetic Wars just hit too Major. Make sure you pop that one up. Abit odd for an XBLA game to arrive on Thurdsay!

  • Major Nelson

    Link Fixed. Sorry…been busy at the show.

  • Spargo CXVII

    Outstanding, can not wait to get home and try it out.

  • MACPH1ST0

    VERY fun demo, so much fun to command your minions to massacre cute fluffy little baby seals and prissy goody two-shoes crusaders (who were quite frankly asking for it with their snobby little attitudes). “Treasure for youuuu, Master!” MUHAHAHAHA! Wow I guess “too much of a good thing” really does exist. (started to scare myself there for a moment…) But hey, with so many games always making you play as the do-gooders, it’s SO much fun to just be ruthlessly and unapologetically eeeeevil sometimes! ;)

  • Cohibaluvr

    Sweet….I enjoyed the first one so much, I can’t wait to play this one. I think the first one was a hidden gem.

  • Euphoric Fusion

    @ Biff Tanner

    I was just wishing… lol
    I am sure that the Forza 2 demo came out at E3 time and the game was released nearly a year later so I was kinda hoping that seeing as it’s only a few months away from release this time around they might do the same.

    And as for Crackdown 2… really enjoyed the first but realistically I know there is no chance of a demo :(

  • Vasilii Zaytsev

    Nice

    Fix the guide please

  • Anonymous

    game sucks. 360 needs some good rpgs

  • OS Perry

    What happened to all the MS Xbox 360 virtual swag this year from E3.

    No truckload of demos. No Dashboard update? – for Spring… it has been since Fall since the NXE. I thought the new NXE would enable the ability to allow for more frequent dash updates.
    No free E3 premium themes…

    Lackluster E3… from all 3 console makers…

    LastFM announcement was cool.

    MS will have an uphill battle trying to get developers behind the Natal project. How many millions of customers have 360s and won’t have Natal? No idea on cost. The Xbox Live Vision camera never became the must own accessory… I kind of doubt this Natal will be either. Can you say “At the Movies 2.0″ Nothing more than that. How will it react in a true living room, with mirrors, glass, pets, etc? My guess is it will cost $75 to $100. MS seems to really stick it to its customers on peripherals… HDs cost, etc.

    And with 360 game downloads… how about a big price break on HD upgrades… jeesh.

    E3 might as well not have happened… I knew Forza 3 was an eventuality… MGS, big deal.
    Facebook/Twitter… don’t recall a big outcry for that feature from the community.

    Meh.

    @Matthew M G

    Yeah, I know. I played Overlord 1 a bit, but it went into the boring-as-hell section quite fast. With aaaall the other good games shown (not only for 360) I’m looking forward to a better demo. I just posted the halo-thingy there cuz I don’t wanna see a Halo ODST Demo in exchange for this demo ^.-

  • Anonymous

    OMG WE GET DEMOS DURING THIS YEARS E3!?!?! -_-

  • NavComm81

    I never tried the original game, and this is another I won’t even bother to try. It was marketed well, and it never grasped my interest to begin with. I have too much other stuff to play anyhow.

  • Sausage Villan

    sounds fun always wanted to try the original

  • MasterAbbott

    Just finished playing the demo .. very similar to the original .. still very clunky and the minions havn’t really improved .. they walk over objects and life forms and dont pick them up. The new enemies especially the elves are a quite funny but deep down i dont see too much of an improvement from the original and the sequel .. lets hope Codemasters tweaks the game before they release it.

    In my honest opinion Overlord 1 looks better than the demo i just played .. but lets just wait and see .. gotta give everything a chance.

  • MADEIRA STEVE88

    Wow, E3 week and i was thinking we would have a few more demos……. just 1 isn’t enough MS.

  • MACPH1ST0

    @ OS Perry: There have been TWO free premium themes released this week: one for 1 vs 100, and another for Perfect Dark.

  • MACPH1ST0

    Interesting side note: According to Marc Whitten on Twitter (@notwen), the laggy guide and marketplace has already been fixed. http://twitter.com/notwen/status/1996326877 Has anyone noticed a difference so far?

  • L31GHS

    CellFactor: Psychokinetic Wars is up major and freaking sweet, it just needs someone ( hint hint) to start spreading the word :-)

  • Breed Evil

    this is a pretty sweet demo. im lookin forward to the full game.
