Overlord 2

After a wonderful experience with the likes of games like Prototype,Godfather 2 ,Hawx.
I moved to a recent game called "Overlord 2".This is game is a complete change in the perspectives.Most of the games usually revolve around a good guy doing good things but in this game u r a bad guy,a villain killing all kinds of innocent creatures like bunnies,baby seals etc and of course innocent civilians ,all for your inexhaustible thirst fr POWER.

This game is a lot of fun, but it is the framework of the game that brings it down.No one actually wants to be a villain and games like these glorify villains and their actions.

If you want a game that is only for fun,then go for this game,but if you want a game which immerses you completely or which makes you an intricate part of the storyline then this game is not worth the cut.

In terms of graphics, i was pleasantly surprised to find out that though the installation took only about 6 gb of space, it is beautiful, the animations are fluid but the minions seem to be transparent i.e you can move through them and vice versa ( i guess that was unavoidable given the huge number of minions).Overall Graphically it is pretty awesome.

Gameplay is kinda fun.It doesn't immerse you that much,but its got a funny side of things for examples the way the human soldiers run or the way the minions dance and shout.Its got a cartoonish side to it.

So overall,this game gives you the much needed relaxation.........Not for serious gaming though.
