Codemasters has sent over this trailer, which shows the Minions, the creatures from their forthcoming action adventure game, Overlord. The video looks great and the Minions look like the Gollum character from the Lord of the Rings. Check it out:
About the Minions:
- The minions, who together form an army that is yours to directly control, are the key play mechanic in Overlord. Very loyal to their Overlord, the minions will use their exceptional skills to fetch, fight and even die for you. Their loyalty knows no limits and their bravery borders on stupidity but, with every bone in their odd little bodies, they will follow your command no matter how despotic or, for the minions, life threatening it is.
Minions are controlled by either moving the horde as a group (with the right analogue stick or mouse) or by firing them with a button press like some destruction-crazed, reusable missiles. Gamers will be able to send individuals or select a posse from their associated horde.
Overlord is expected to release for the Xbox 360 and the PC in the summer of 2007. Click here if you want to check out the screenshots and our post on the game.
