Forget all those business and tycoon games: Overlord will likely end up the best management game of the year. You start as an evil-but-vanquished overlord tasked with reconquering your empire. A team of Gremlins-cute minions follows your every command—and does almost all the work. With a sweep of your arm, you can send them to swarm across your enemies and raid their treasure. And they magically know exactly what to do, whether it's killing a firebug, opening a gate, or smashing everything in sight. You just have to stand back and take credit for having the good sense to send them in.
Of course, just like in real life, your employees do what they should, except when they don't. The minions vacillate between amped-up 13-year-olds, who'll do anything as long as it's violent, to addled 2-year-olds, who don't know enough not to drown themselves. The tactics are dumbed down to match this mushiness, which means you'll suffer through a lot of basic obstacles and "find a crank to open a gate" puzzles. And while you can always wade into the fight yourself, your lug of an avatar seems too sluggish for the trenches.
