"For Yoooouuuuuuuuu!" "For the masterr!"

It'll take a while till you get the more interesting minions, but I've loved a zerg of 20+ Browns every single time.
It's hilarious to see the little buggers at work on the bigger opponents.
Micromanagement is a part of the game though, recalling minions, sending special types out to certain opponents in certain phases.

Other then that it's a typical console game

Didn't have too much trouble using the mouse but it is most definitely the most challenging aspect.

Killzone is highly overrated. Which says enough, since it only got around 70-75% scores in the press :p

Killzone has never been overrated. Overhyped yeah, but it's not like you hear people going "zomg that Killzone, killer app lets play it!"
It's an ok game that got hyped to much as a halo killer which eventually became it's downfall. Had it tried standing on it's own merits it'd probably had scored a rating of 80ish in the press. But since it was out to answer Halos beckoning call of best console fps (not like halo is all that, but lets leave that for another discussion) it could naught but fail which its current production value and time invested, which in turn agitated the journalistic (if you can call the gaming press proper critics) mass against it.

Edit: But this isn't about killzone, Overlord is awesome fun! Yay! ;>

Wrote a few lines about this and it got lost in cyberspace....grr...

Got done with it this weekend and i think ill play it again to get 100% evil.
Was to easy when i found out you could farm lifeforce in the pit by killing beetles to upgrade your armor/weapon. Still fun tho.

7/10 for funfactor
