Game News - Pirates of the Caribbean 3 And Overlord Demos

   Since both the game and the movie that spawned it were released last month, it was about time Disney offered us the demo version for Pirates of the Caribbean 3 - more officially known as Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (even though it also borrows from the second movie, Dead Man's Chest... but let's not get stuck on technical details). So, without further ado, or any kind of details with regard to its contents, the official website holds the PotC: At World's End demo for all you PC gamers and/or fans of captain Jack Sparrow & co.

   A much better-timed demo release, however, goes to Codemasters and Triumph Studios, for their upcoming vile action-adventure game Overlord. You'll find the over-sized demo (of over 1 GB!) on the Overlord website, if you can pass the simple evilness test on the splash-page, or at this direct FTP link if you don't have time for silly minigames. As for its contents, here is Codies' description:
"In this Overlord demo, players don the Overlord's illustrious armor and assemble a team of Brown Minions (the brawlers) to head off on a session of serious destruction in the once tranquil area of The Mellow Hills. Descending upon the unsuspecting populace and wildlife, the Overlord must use his loyal minions to gather life-force from the somewhat unwilling sheep, grow the size of his minion horde, and let the Halflings-gone-wild know there's a new boss in town. Top that off with Minion upgrades, including better weapons and pumpkin helmets, throw in some peasant intimidation and a show-down with the Guard Troll at the Slave Camp, and players will have a taste of the havoc that a Minion horde can wreak."    Codies will send Overlord and his army of gremlins to stores on June 26 in North America, and three days later in Europe.
