Pre-Order Swag: Overlord II
When the first Overlord title was shipped it was released without much fanfare. Sure, it got a bunch of great reviews from people like PC Gamer and Play, but that only carries a game so far in retail. Being the big fan of the sinister action-RTS hybrid that I am, I was really hoping that Codemasters would pull out all the stops when promoting the sequel that is released this month. Thankfully, the powers that be over at the British publisher have chosen to do at least one very cool thing to attract some attention to what is sure to be their pretty cool game: free pre-order figures!
Don't get too overly excited though, because when you pre-order Overlord II through GameStop you'll receive one of four of these very cool Minion figures pictured here. I know it's kind of tacky to complain about not getting more free things, but these figures just look so mischievous that I'm sure they could accomplish all the evil tasks that I need done.
Hmmmm... maybe I can get a full set if I beg and plead with the semi-cute GameStop guy in my neck of the woods...
Anywho, Overlord II and Overlord: Minions, a very promising The Lost Vikings-esque DS partner in crime, ship out at the end of this month on the 23rd.

To anyone hoping to get the full set, you may want to do a little shopping around to more than one store. In my experience working at GameStop, they would just send a single type to each store. Also try asking about if there are any leftovers a week or two after the release, since there usually are.
