“Overlord” for Xbox 360 didn't register on my radar as anything worth getting excited about. All of the written coverage and screenshots made it look like a typical WRPG featuring a Molyneux-inspired “morality” system with the gimmick of eliminating “Good” as a choice and replacing the traditional dichotomy with “Evil” or “Really Evil” in order to appeal more to stupid teenagers who think being evil is cool. That's what I thought about “Overlord,” that is, until I read an interview with the game's creator and learned that there were goblin minions to command and that the overall game system bears little resemblance to any WRPG. So when “Overlord” was ported to the PS3 with added content and the new subtitle “Raising Hell,” I decided to give it a shot.
