I liked the 1st game. Have yet to try the 2nd.
I'd love to see him fuck with his "fans" and give a glowing positive review. Honestly, the positive reviews can be greatly entertaining, too.
Examples:
-Portal
-Painkiller
-Duke Nuken *snicker*
-Manhunt (kind of; I just love that part where he says "Halfway through the game, a strange realization came over me: I was actually having fun.")

Uuuh.. watch his reviews of Infamous and Prototype. He made it very clear that he enjoyed both games to the point where he had to have a contest involving bras to determine which was better.
Naturally he slams both for their flaws, but praises them, too.
Not his fault 95% of games in the last few years have been crap.
As far as Overlord 2 goes, I agree that he bashed it mainly because he didn't like the control style, which I can understand, but I rather liked the way you controled the minions in Overlord 1, and it looks like it's basically the same in 2. Overlord 1 wasn't a stellar game in many regards, but I certainly had fun with it.

Well, I'm playing Fable 2, so I can appreciate a lot of the comments he made on that game. It's weird and frustrating... I can't point to any one part of the game and say it's very fun, the whole thing is repetitive and derivative, the world is incredibly linear with a bare minimum of exploration, apparently Peter Molyneux thinks that "do X anywhere at anytime" means the same thing as "do X once for a single time," and I don't care about the characters and it's like the taskmanaging from The Sims without any of the immersion... but I just played it for about six hours today. I have three wives and six kids, I don't give a shit about any of them, I'm getting over 3500 gold every five minutes, and I've maxed out my Strength skills and have a master-class weapon, although I still can't seem to do too much damage to the bad guys. I keep knocking them over, so I have to build up my Skill so I can shoot them on the ground and mow through them that way. Which is another thing... the combat is frustrating and unintuitive; I can't figure out the rhythm aspects, and counters seem to mostly be blind luck with a heavy weapon, since you need to start your attack before you can see theirs coming... WHY THE HELL AM I STILL PLAYING THIS THING???
I actually noticed the Wii version in the store yesterday, and remembered reading that it was kind of a prequel to the original game. I decided to give it a try, and I actually am having a lot of fun with it.
It still has most of the charm from the original which made me like it, just with a much more heavy "Grimm's Fairy Tales" bent rather then just Classic Fantasy. In one section you have to escort a little girl in red called "Lil' Hood" to her grandmothers house, and in another you have to fight a witch that is capturing children in a gingerbread house, fighting off her gingerbread man minions. Obviously the game is not going to let you be as evil as you could in the classic Overlord series, instead locking you to the "I am a jerk but overall help people" type of style that you had in the first game. All in all it's is an entertaining little spinoff, if not a little to easy (Gold drops like candy, I swear the minute I got my forge back I would update half my armor and all my minions to max levels).
I am going to try Overlord 2 next, but not before I finally get the Overlord 1 expansion, which I have yet to play.
