Who Won Our Overlord II Competition?

10:00AM June 29, 2009 | David Wildgoose

And more importantly, what were the ten winning limericks?

As you no doubt know by now, all last week we were giving away copies of Overlord II, the wicked new “evil ‘em up” from Codemasters. We had five copies on Xbox 360 and five on PS3. Plus a set of four minion figurines for every winner.

We asked you to write a limerick, with the daily winners being the ones that best expressed your most nefarious Overlordly exploits. Eight of the winners were announced last week:

Monday’s winners
Tuesday’s winners
Wednesday’s winners
Thursday’s winners

And now we can share with you Friday’s winners.

Friday’s PS3 Winner
Brenton Pobjie
At last the rhyming can end
It was driving me round the bend
I can slay who I like
Do it all with a pike
Or use limericks so their heads never mend.

Friday’s Xbox 360 Winner
James
The Overlord, it is to be said;
fills the hearts of all brave men with dread,
but he holds a dark secret,
he’ll do anything to keep it;
the pink slippers kept under his bed.

I feel Brenton’s entry provies a fitting conclusion to the comp!

Congratulations to all ten of you, we’ll be in touch later today to arrange delivery of your prizes. And thank you to everyone who entered and made the comments thread in the original post so entertaining.

You’ve gotta stop picking other people called James, I experience a brief moment of happiness followed by crushing disappointment each time. :p
