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!

There was a game called overlord
whos main character would flash his sword
He would lift up his sheath
to show whats underneath
and the girls would all scream good lord

There was once a crazy lady of Rome,
Who went hazy in an old catacomb.
When the tribes came to prey,
She’d lock them at bay
With an offer to thrive in her home. ;)
ps3, thanks.

There was a nasty old villian,
Who refused to write a limerick.
He could not rhyme,
He had no time,
To busy was he; out maiming.

There once was a demon from hell,
over time his power did swell.
With minions in hand,
he conquered the land
and landed himself a sequel.
PS3 or 360.

once upon another time
all was quiet and quite fine
till a boogyman appeared
both wretched and feared
for saving his clippings in brine

Sieging this keep could be a mistake
Just doing it for my ego’s sake
My minions may cry
They’re all going to die
That’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make

There once was an evil overlord
Report PermalinkWho liked to club seals with his hoard
With one mighty swing and a flash of sparks
His axe would cleave the poor seals in half
Such things always made his minions laugh

In a land blessed with turmoil and strife,
where countless bodies fall upon my knife,
Get down on your knees
If your so eager to please
And I’ll think about sparing your life!

The overlord wanted to rule the land
With his axe in hand and a song in his heart
He would smite his enemies where they stand
And with laughter he would tear seals apart
Maybe he should join a rock and roll band
damn it i did it again…..the 360 version please

The demo was not all that great
But maybe I’m too quick to rate?
Perhaps the whole game
Deserves more acclaim
Gimme a copy and I’ll play it
PS3, please!

As the Overlord walks in stride,
He watches his minions filled with pride,
After all their training,
and with their keen sense tingling,
There is no where left to run and hide.

Perpetual rain pours down today
Washing the blood and sweat away

An evil overlord yearned to rule
Anybody who challenged him was a fool
His minions obeyed his every command
Causing death and destruction all over the land
So if you see them coming run as fast you can

Single male Overlord with many facets.
Seeks mistress, who doesn’t mind pets,
Dark, stoic and silent,
Also evil and violent.
And an appreciator of voluptuous assets.

Look at me, I am The Overlord,
Controlling them with a puppet cord,
Make them hurt, make them cry,
They wish they could just die,
Minions cower before my sword.
PS3 please :-)

With a swing of his axe death was ever so near
He could make herds of cattle and sheep disappear
His minions would destroy everything in sight
Then run back to the overlord laughing with delight
With a lamb leg wedged in their teeth what a fright!

There once was this dude from Mordialloc,
Though he could call the Overlord a Pillock,
The Overlord did just glance,
made a quick movement with his lance,
now the dude has no c*** ;)
(And yes, Pillock is a real word)
