June 25/26 - The Battle: NG Sigma and Overlord reviews in

I want both of these games. Right now, Sigma is getting the High AA low AAA type reviews while Overlord has one fairly mediocre review. I can't give the link for these, cause every time I use the website that summarizes the score as a link, Gamespot suspends me. I really don't know why and don't care really. Ok, here they are:

OVERLORD

Official XBOX Mag UK: Tedious puzzles and repetitious level design makes Overlord become very predictable all too quickly.

NG: Sigma

Hardcore Gamer Mag: It's a geat game and worth a try if you're brave and/or a masochist.

Playstation Official Mag UK: This is punishingly, mercilessly, remorselessly ferocious. You will never, ever finish it. Until you learn to block.

Electronic Gaming MOnthly: Genuinely new content doesn't about, but Sigma remains such an expansive, challenging and well-paced thrill ride that you won't care.

So there you have it. Any thoughts?

Sorry but a little game known as the DARKNESS is also coming out that day. That will be much better than Overlord. The demo was rubbish.Riviera_Phantom

Not really. The demo was pretty damn good. If you want to play a rubbish demo, check out Hour of Victory.

But yes, I doubt Overlord will be a must-buy game for me. But I have a feeling it will be a good rental, it's a fun game regardless of whether it's an AAA title or not.

I didn't like it but yeah there are worse demo's out there. Like Tenchu.

I'll be playing Pokemon Online, just like all the Wii owners :DEponique

I kind of figured from the demo that Overlord would rely mostly on its storytelling charm and level of funny for it to succeed over the gameplay which just didn't really do it for me. I already beat NG once and I felt no desire to get BLACK even less to get a PS3 for this remake.JiveT

Nobody expects you to get a PS3 ever, you are one of the biggest fanboys around here now days.

Look here Jr. I always end up getting all the systems but god knows when I'll get a PS3. If SH5 is a PS3 exclusive that's probably a good excuse. Sure as heck won't be for blu-ray or any games coming out this year.

Call me junior again and I'm gonna have to report you. :cry:

That's great to know, but do you have to be a fanboy about everything else?

No they don't but Pokemon Stadium1 and 2 on N64 were great. The GC ones were utter garbage.

Ur lucky. I waz gonna kall u tater tot. Sounds like Kakarot don't it? And yes I have to be a fanboy. Why would I come to System Wars if not to fanboy?

I played Ninja Gaiden a few years back :)

Overlord looks friggin awesome and I love how goofy it is.

You are going to compare some no name game with zero hype to NGS? Seriously?Riverwolf007

There are few people who are hyping this.

True but it had nice graphics tho.

I may be buying it but so what? I already know that my taste in games is pretty far off base from what the general market thinks of as a good game.

Expensive day, Overlord releases the same day a The Darkness (pre-ordered that too)we all know Overlord will not sell even 15% of what Darkness will. It's going to be some wierd little niche game that the people that like it will say is good no matter what and the people that don't like it will herald as more of "teh 360 floppage".

I dont care about "Overlord".... and I played the hell outta "Ninja Gaiden" years ago. Although for PS3 owners they will finally have a great game in which to enjoy, too bad they cant use it as pwnage, since we can easily rebut with "been there done that".

All fanboyism aside though..... NG is awesome.... and if you have a PS3, definately get this game. It was the best game for XBOX last gen, imo.

What the Hell is Overlord?

Anyway, good to see Sigma got great reviews.

Sorry but a little game known as the DARKNESS is also coming out that day. That will be much better than Overlord. The demo was rubbish.Riviera_Phantom

Indeed. The Darkness takes priority over Overlord any day in my books. But I will definitly rent Overlord, may or maynot purchase it. The demo wasn't great, but it got me interested in the game.

I played Ninja Gaiden a few years back :)

Overlord looks friggin awesome and I love how goofy it is.

Choga

Hah, my old sig.

I'm downloading the Overlord demo right now, so I can't help you yet. But personally, I already played NG 3 years ago. I wouldn't pay $60 for a few new missions and prettier graphics (or $600 for the system for that matter, but I digress).

I want both of these games. Right now, Sigma is getting the High AA low AAA type reviews while Overlord has one fairly mediocre review.

no...no theres not, ive seen a few people looking foward to this, not hyping...do we have to go through the differences between hyping and a couple of people looking foward to a game? We do this every dam day
