Print Heralding the return of the Overlord and his Minion horde, Codemasters
today announced the launch of new downloadable content packs for
Overlord, including the game's single-player expansion Overlord:
Raising Hell.
The new content is now available from Xbox LIVE
Marketplace for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from
Microsoft and comprises of one free and two premium download packs;
the premium packs are available for 800 and 400 Microsoft Points
respectively.
Downloadable Content Pack Details:
OVERLORD: RAISING HELL
• Devilishly good single-player expansion pack.
• Includes new Abyss levels and Dungeon Challenges.
• Premium pack: 800 Microsoft Points from Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
Go
deeper into the Overlord's twisted world as this single-player
expansion pack opens a series of hellish new levels, each a
supernatural abyss for the game's five domains: Mellow Hills,
Evernight, Heaven's Peak, the Golden Halls and the Ruborian Desert.
Access
to each abyss is via a portal, which opens once a kingdom has been
successfully conquered and the previous ruler banished to a personal
hell within. However it's not just the fallen heroes that have been
dragged into the abyss: the Overlord's newly loyal peasants have also
been taken down into hell too.
With the undead denizens of each
abyss on the attack and threatening the Overlord's reign above ground,
there's only one thing for it: assemble a Minion army, descend into
each abyss and embark on a fresh wave of tyranny in order to return the
serfs to their homelands, defeat the fallen heroes once and for all,
and claim the throne of the underworld.
OVERLORD: CHALLENGE PACK
• Seven all-new multiplayer maps, including "Capture the Maiden".
• Deviously difficult Legendary Single Player Mode.
• Premium pack: 400 Microsoft Points from Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
Come
and have a go if your Overlord's hard enough. All new pillaging fun
with seven additional online multiplayer maps, including the
competitive 'Capture the Maiden' map and 'Protect Your Power', where
players must defend the Overlord's tower against waves of enemy attack.
Putting
the Minions through their toughest workout, the Challenge pack also
introduces a 'Legendary' difficulty mode, which challenges players to
achieve Legendary status by using their most aggressive Minion managing
skills to complete the single-player game under exceptional bad-ass
circumstances.
OVERLORD: SPLIT-SCREEN MULTIPLAYER PACK
• FREE downloadable multiplayer content pack for Xbox 360.
• Enables split screen play on all existing multiplayer maps.
• Plus adds a hot new 'Rocky Race' multiplayer map
This
free content download enables players to go head to head on all of the
game's original multiplayer maps in a new split screen mode. The update
also introduces a new multiplayer map, Rocky Race, which sees a pair of
Overlords working cooperatively to survive the onslaught of an arch
rock giant on the rampage.
All content packs are now available
from Xbox LIVE Marketplace for the Xbox 360 and require players to have
a full copy of Overlord in order to experience the additional content.

Although it does not include all the patch notes, I thought I'd add this now so you get the general idea of what will change in the next major World of Warcraft Patch 2.4.0.
Electronic Arts Inc. announced today that The Sims Castaway Stories for the PC is on store shelves across Europe.
The image on the Blizzard Entertainment Splash Page is updated, continuing to raise expectations that an announcement is forthcoming from this weekend's Worldwide Invitational event.
Tornado & LightHouse PhysX Mod maps for UT3 ready for download now.
Although Pro Street has been released, EA continues to create new patches for Carbon.
Welcome back, LEGION. Indeed, Joe Kucan is back, portraying the legendary self-proclaimed prophet Kane, through 20 years of Command and Conquer history: past, present and future. The 13 missions spread story explains what happened to the Brotherhood of Nod right after the Second Tiberium War, and fill the history gap left by the original Command and Conquer 3. And then of course some more, the action takes us a bit more into the future, showing just a sneak peak of the shape of things to come.
"A murder?...a suicide?...an accident?...a coincidence?... Follow the evidence and find the moment of truth. It's all about the evidence and more like the show than ever" We'll see...
The stellar "Sins of a Solar Empire" hits our PCs with a unique interesting new combination of game genres and a few cool ideas that should draw the attention of quite a few strategy fans. The newcomer Ironclad Games managed the impossible and created a competitive title indeed. But aside from all the prays and high marks this game received overall, its approach on RTS and the mix of elements it brings, one can find some things that will bother a few players and that will eventually influence the grades of this review. Ok, let's take it from the top.
Sherlock Holmes, the worlds` greatest detective, created by Arthur Conan Doyle is about to face his biggest challenge so far: Arsene Lupin, the worlds` greatest thief, created by Maurice Leblanc. Who is going to win this battle of wits? Who is going to be victorious, and, most importantly, who would you like to see as the winner?
I thought a bit about how to start this. While saying that Silent Hunter IV is the best submarine simulator out there is true, it doesn't mean much, especially for new players. Saying it is one of the best simulator games out there is again accurate, but again, a bit of an understatement. Why? Well because... despite the high complexity and realism involved, Ubisoft Romania managed to develop a game that is appealing to the beginners as well, in a certain degree.
Lineage II had it share of success. At the time the game was released, it was one of the most beautiful MMOG on the market. To take its place as the most beautiful MMOG, the Ragnarok Online (or RO) developers from imcGames created Sword of the New World: Granado Espada.
We were able to take part in 2 battles and what we saw pleased us. The transition to the 3D helped the game and gave it a better view on the battlefield. You can move the camera and this way you get a better look at the action. The units are amazing and their animations are clean and good looking. Same goes for spells and effects: you will love what you see.
Last week I began to search some new independent games. Suddenly I stumbled upon this interesting racing game called Nitro Stunt Racing. The title sounds non-original but the content tends to be if not original, at least interesting.
In a perfect world, everything is controlled by a balance between Chaos and Order. But what happens if things start to get messy and a great evil is about to unleash an epic conflict onto the universe? This is what NCsoft decided to unveil and also explain why Aion is a MMO bound to have success.
So here I am back on the road with a BMW. This time in Race 07 demo. The only racing-simulation game that really impressed me at GC. But only with the help of the Steam client which probably will become the "god" of online distribution! Anyway a big minus for this decision of playing the game only through Steam.
must have rogue macros
must have priest macros
must have mage macros
must have druid macros
Just for you, some Medieval 2 cheats.
| (PC) Overlord July 16, 2007 One of the most original games ever, Overlord isn't like anything you've seen so far amongst the games. It has a bit of everything, all combined into one package. If you want to compare it with something, it can help if you think at a big pizza. Basically it's a big pizza where you add a little salami, some mushrooms, pepperoni, cheese, and all that you like – in small quantities. Overlord is the good pizza that we've all been waiting for.
