The latest in ne'er-do-well technology has finally reached our digital doorsteps.  No longer must we make prank phone calls or donate to Trump's presidential campaign to sate our sadistic desires.  Thanks to Overlord: Fellowship of Evil, we can direct our now menace onto hapless, digital creatures.  It's pretty much a victimless crime!  Unless, for whatever reason, you do consider AI to be partially sentient.  Then it's, like, 100% filled with victims.

Friendship is difficult.  Even the kindest of folks happen upon events or realizations that alter the way they look at each other, and that's to say nothing of those who are hell-bent on conquering the physical plane.  Overlord: Fellowship of Evil, acknowledges that time spent with co-op partners can occasionally lead to frustration, which is why they're including ways to... alleviate that.

Developer Codemasters has announced that the next installment in the Overlord series, Overlord: Fellowship of Evil, will be coming to PC on August 25, 2015. Various platforms versions for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One have been revealed to be coming as well, so almost everyone can experience it.

To round out a great co-op year, Game Informer took polls asking community members how they feel about specific co-op aspects in games, and asked a few key co-op developers how the co-op process works for them. Out of these community polls, statistics arose that made Co-Optimus.com very proud of the gaming community at large. For instance, 51.9% of all gamers surveyed responded that they'd rather play social games than single player. Of those social gamers, 64.5% of them prefer friendly co-op to competitive multiplayer.

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.

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.

Our hub site Colony of Gamers has posted a new trailer for Overlord II, the sequel to the third-person strategy/action game Overlord (duh).
