Today – and every day this week – we’ll be giving away two copies of Overlord II, the very cheeky new evil ‘em up from Codemasters. Find out how to win after the jump.
There’s a lot of games nowadays that ask you if you’re Good or if you’re Evil, if you want to pet the puppy or kick the puppy. Overlord II isn’t that kind of game.
In Overlord II you either bite the puppy’s head off or you order one of your minion’s to do it for you. Then you bite your minion’s head off.
Overlord II is all about being evil. Which is why you’re so keen to enter this giveaway.
Today we’ve got one copy of Overlord II for Xbox 360 and one copy of Overlord II for PS3 to give away. Plus, both winners will each score a set of four Overlord minion figurines.
To be in the running we want you to be as cheeky as those minions. You need to write a limerick all about your Overlording exploits designed to get us cackling with wickedness.
For the pedants out there, Wiki says “The standard form of a limerick is a stanza of five lines, with the first, second and fifth having eight or nine syllables and rhyming with one another, and the third and fourth having five or six and rhyming separately.” Consider it a guide.
Leave your limerick in the comments below. One entry per person per day is allowed. If you leave multiple entries, only the first limerick will be considered during that days draw.
UPDATE: And please state which console you’d like!
UPDATE #2: This competition is now closed.
Good luck!

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 11:20 AMThere once was a brute Overlord,
Who impaled Villagers on his sword.
With his minions at hand,
He yelled the command,
“Destroy them!” but he was ignored.

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 11:21 AMThere once was a goblin named Peter,
Who met an old woman named Rita,
He pushed her down quickly,
Then proceeded to eat her,
and proclaimed that he needed some sweetener.

I ascent on skulls to my throne.
As is my will,
my minions will kill
and all of the villagers will be pwn’d.

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 11:25 AMHere’s a Minion limerick for ya;
Though evil deeds we dare not shirk,
being bad is not all hard work,
we club seals in bunches,
and PETA can’t touch us,
it’s so damn fun being a jerk!

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 11:28 AMThere once lived an evil overlord,
Who had minions and a very sharp sword,
He rampaged with a roar,
was popular with the whores,
and never seemed to get bored.

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 11:29 AMHe’s the leader of all you can see,
but his Ding Dong does burn when he pees.
He destoys the best,
and sleeps with the rest.
He’s a walking, talking S T D

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 11:30 AMDespite dissenting opinion
I’ve never mistreated a minion
Though their outrage grew
When I kicked a few
I’m still lord of all my dominion
Xbox 360 please

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 11:34 AMOnce upon a time in grieder
There was a mean and nasty leader
He chopped at the bit
TO do a big hit
before he could cook and eater
PS3 please :)

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 11:43 AMThere once was this nice guy
Who decided to get dark
I totally enjoyed the pounding
Then destroyed all that surrounding
Now I also have Minions that can bark

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 11:46 AMThere once was an overlord named Stan
Who was more of a worry than Iran
But not only that
On the N Korea nuclear board he sat
With Kim Jong-il as his right hand man

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 11:47 AMThe fair maidens begin to squeal,
But not because of his sex appeal,
While the village burns the to ground,
There really isn’t a more beautiful sound,
Even though nothing was left to steal.

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 12:24 PM… PS3 please

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 11:53 AMThe minion, evil’s great tool
However they are also great fools
But just take off a head
The others will dread
They will be loyal for your rule
JB
Monday, June 22, 2009 at 11:59 AMThe demo gave me motion sickness,
Was forced to quit with much quickness,
The Overlord’s sword gleaned,
The minions, they did scream,
As they vanished into darkness.

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 12:05 PMThere once was a Troll named Fred
Who had a really big head
He spent his days making up new fads
Then the Overlord came and kicked him in his nads
But he was much worse than the troll who is dead
Hayden
Monday, June 22, 2009 at 12:07 PMThere was a minion called Bugley,
Who considered himself quite ugly.
So this quickly he implored,
To his dear Overlord,
Who surprisingly replied he was snugly.

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 12:12 PMIf you win a copy of Overlord II
and are confused at what you must do,
loot, pillage and burn
at every turn
and annihilate all who come after you

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 12:20 PMThrough all the thunder and lighting,
Was a master born breed only for smiting,
With evil at heart,
He could never part,
With his minions his team for the fighting.
XBOX360 please
“FOR THE MASSSSTERRRR”

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 12:29 PMT’was an overlord so diabolical,
So utterly, terribly maniacal,
Burned his enemies heads
In hot lava beds
T’were not left with a single hair follicle.
PS3 version, please.

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 12:32 PMOh thou hear the roar of thy lord,
And run to fetch his master’s sword,
Thou sir is on ice,
While thy minion cooks mice,
We wait ’till oh master has thawed
Preference: PS3
Thank you!

Under the Empire we live in denial,
What’s that you’ve spied?
His minions now ride!
Hmm, how can a helmet smile?

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 12:49 PMthere once was a lord near to bree,
who went on a large killing spree,
both elves and the dwaves,

for the delightful amusement of me.
Ps3 pleases master.

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 12:51 PMThere once was an evil Overlord
Who got terribly terribly bored
He tried going insane
It all felt mundane
So he decided to fall on his sword

There exists an Overlord by day
who completes spreadsheets for pay!
But, once it hits five
The evil subsides,
Then gathers the minions to slay!
Michael Pannunzio
Monday, June 22, 2009 at 12:53 PMCommanding my minions for my dirty deeds
Killing foes, because of my greed
I am the Overlord
Mach 2, I had roared
And my experience, well, it soared.
360 version.
