If you're of a mind to snub GameStop and purchase your videogames at other fine retail outlets, then GameStop is at least going to make sure you miss out on cool little collectibles like these Overlord minions. Pre-order either
Overlord II for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC,
Overlord: Dark Legend for the Wii, or
Overlord Minions for the Nintendo DS and you'll get one of these little devils. Of course, you may have to pre-order ten or fifteen copies to really get a viable swarm going. It also wouldn't hurt if
Overlord II showed up with a minimap on the HUD. I'd pre-order if they'd be sure to include
that.
Overlord fans rejoice! Anyone who pre-orders a copy of Overlord II, Overlord Dark Legend and Overlord Minions from GameStop will receive one of four different minion figurines (brown, green, blue or red). These are destined to become instant collectibles! The minion figurines are available for online and in-store GameStop customers while supplies last. Overlord II for Xbox 360, PlayStation3 and PC, Overlord: Dark Legend for Wii and Overlord Minions for the Nintendo DS will ship to retail outlets on June 23.
In Overlord II, players decimate an entire empire and lord over its citizens to become the new Overlord with a more powerful army of minions. Overlord II features the same great humor and gameplay that made the original a hit and adds a brand new story, clever new characters, whimsical new environments, varied combat features and a stronger, funnier horde of minions.
Overlord Dark Legend is brand new action adventure steeped in fairy tale lore with sinister and satirical twists. Set in a time before the original Overlord game, players step into the role of a new younger Overlord and revel in command of the most vicious, yet lovable little critters in gaming – the Minions.
Control a “Special Forces” team of four minions in Overlord Minions, an irresistible puzzle action game. Extending the series’ trademark humor, Overlord Minions gameplay focuses on the mischievous physical comedy of the minion’s antics and is delivered in a gloriously realized cartoon visual style.
