Well what do you know? Overlord IS coming to PS3

by Jem Alexander { Feb 25th 2008 at 5:15PM }

We totally didn't see this one coming (oh wait, yes we did) - CVG is confirming that Overlord will be coming to the PS3 this summer. Thanks to the storage capacity of Blu-ray the game will come bundled with all of the downloadable content that's currently available for the 360 and PC versions on the same disc as the game. The PS3 version will be released under the name Overlord: Raising Hell to reflect the extra content.

It's nice to get confirmation, even if Codemaster's vague quote all-but confirmed the game was coming. Sadly a more specific release date than "summer" isn't available, so it could arrive in four months or seven. Whichever happens, we'll be happy to finally get our hands on the game for our console of choice.

what kind of game is it, share some info?

Daniel - google it. Its a fun game on the 360. You more or less are the dark lord and have minions you send out on missions to do your dirty work with you.

Sounds pretty cool. I will look it up on IGN. Thanks.

I've just heard about this game from all the talks about it for the past week. I saw video of actually gameplay...and I honestly can't see what all the fuss is about....then again, i guess its different strokes for different folks. I know I will pass on this.

pretty neat. i've read some good reviews and heard pretty fun things about it. plus another fresh title wont hurt. however i am WAY more geared at the moment towards certain exclusives and a few cross-platform shooters!

Have it for my 360 but didn't buy the extra content so I'm buying this complete version for the PS3. Great game and controlling your minions are fun, especially when the not so bright minions do some crazy stuff. Good pickup PS3.

"Thanks to the storage capacity of Blu-ray..."

Loaded statement if I ever heard one. Have there been any calculations regarding the possible size of the entire package? Doubt it.

"This game can only be played as the artist meant it to played on the PS3!" All hail the glory that is Blu-ray.

I love my PS3 but don't make it seem like this game is anything but a 6.5.
