Evil Genius sneaks into retail

Vivendi Universal Games announced today that Evil Genius, a strategy-simulation title that puts players in the role of a nefarious no-goodnik bent on world domination, has shipped to retail for PC today. Players can build their own secret base, train minions, delegate tasks to top henchmen--and, of course, construct the ultimate doomsday device.

In addition, players will have to fend off the forces of good and justice by setting elaborate traps for special agents and then torturing their captives for information.

A playable demo of Evil Genius is available for download now at GameSpot DLX.
