Ever since I was little, when I used to command myHe-Man action figuresto destroy my neighbor’sMy Little Ponystable (take no equine prisoners, Man-At-Arms!), I have longed for the day I could control my own army to cause chaos across the land.It looks like these dreams may finally come true with the upcomingOverlordfor the Xbox 360 and PC. This first trailer, while short on gameplay (not so short on annoying narration, though), reminds me of the classicDungeon Keeper, which is definitely not a bad thing. Hopefully there will be a lot more depth to the game than shown in the teaser, as the promising concept of leading an army of monsters could end up getting pretty darn old pretty darn fast. At the very least, it will fulfill all of my childhood pillaging fantasies, which makes me happy.Just look at the way those creatures are destroying that village for their master. It’s like poetry. That’s right, I’m talking about you, you filthy creatures. Get back to wreaking havoc! Never disobey your master! Stupid, minions.My belovedTeelawould be so proud of me right now.
