Thanks. I'm going to pick these up even though I have Overlord II sitting in a folder on my desktop.

I must have bought 10 games from steam in the last 3 months or so. They actually had all the jedi games in a pack for $20 a while back. Dark Forces, Dark Forces II, Mysteries of the Sith, Jedi outcast, Jedi academy.. $20 what a great deal.

I watched the trailer, it looked pretty good. You're an evil warlord or something.

It plays a lot like Pikmin but with the main character wielding a giant axe. You are an evil lord and you summon minions to kill things, lift things, carry things, and otherwise just do your bidding. You unlock different types of minions that have different affinities and abilities and you advance along the campaign becoming bigger and badder. If you get this game I definitely recommend playing it with a controller.

I played the first game and got bored towards the end, but its certainly not a bad game and worth it for the current asking price. How does Overlord 2 compare to the first?

More of the same with some tighter AI control.

I only played a little of it though.

I bought it though I have too many games to play.

I figure I'll want to play Overlord 2 at SOME point.

That's what I really love about steam. They will keep it, patch it up for you. I even bought there Star Wars Jedi and an old 1995 game called Dark Forces came with it's own Dos Box (I could never figure those things out for myself) all I gotta do is click and it works... looks like crap but it works. I'm actually buying more games now then I download.
