Overlord
I really like Overlord, I still have a lot to accomplish in Forza2 but for now Overlord is taking a lot of my free time. The concept for the game is brilliant, though I guess it borrows a lot of thinking from a Nintendo game called Pikmin. I never played Pikmin so for me it's all new and pretty unique.
Some things do bother me though, the control scheme needs some refinement. When trying to select something for action (flag marker, spawn point, item in the world) it becomes pretty difficult to target them, especially when the action is frantic. I'm not sure how they would improve it to be honest, perhaps just simply revising the puzzle to make sure that it's difficult to put each item on the same plane, though even that may be difficult.
I like the humor, the voice acting of Gnarl is really good and funny which is something more games need, light-hearted humor.
I'm not very far in the game I suspect but I'd estimate that I'm about 10 hours in, likely 40% complete the game. I haven't really spent much on upgrading my armor/weapons. I think it will probably be difficult to get all the achievements. Looks like a few people on my friends list have the game so at least I have someone to play against.
