Awaking into a fantasy world where elves, dwarves and despicably cute hobbits rule can be a horrible experience. But all that changes when you are in control of an evil megalomaniac villain.

With sword in hand and hordes of goblins to perform every evil impulse, 'Overlord: Raising Hell' makes for an interesting take on smaller scale god games and filled a hole in the product range of the next generation consoles when released.
