Who hasn’t dreamed of commanding a horde of minions, blazing a path of destruction through their enemies while cosplaying as Sauron and brandishing an outlandishly oversized weapon? …What?  Why am I the only one who has that dream?  Well, I suppose if you’re a deviant like me, then Overlord 2 may just be your perfect game.

Overlord II comes out today on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.   The game places players in the role of an Evil Overlord, who while in control of his minions, is capable of creating havok across the land.  It's an over the top game that's incredibly entertaining, filled with a ton of personality.

There's a two player online co-op mode which features a few scenarios.  The first Arena mode sounds a bit like the ever popular Horde modes we are seeing in games.  Kill A General has players working together across lands to, yup, defeat a general.   

That's what we call co-op!

Overlord was a quirky game, mixing humor with fantasy elements, and all from the perspective of the bad guys.  The sequel, Overlord II, is coming later this month.  The demo is up on Xbox Live now, and you can queue it up here.  No word yet on PC or PSN demos, but we expect them soon.

I know Kat is looking forward to this one, and we're all interested to see how the co-op is handled.  Hopefully, after playing the demo, all will be made clear!
