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!

Your son, I’m afraid, couldn’t hack it.
Minions disobey,
Then I make them pay,
Please accept his head in basket.
360? :)

These happy times are what I despise,
The mythical folk,
Are who I shall choke,
Whilst bringing this lands demise.
PS3 please

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 7:27 PMa little something that repeats in all these comps and here’s a limerick just for such a thing:
Wildgoose is not to be included
to think you would win is deluded
you won’t have a hope
you’ll look like a dope
just make sure the overlord’s saluted

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 8:20 PMWhen being cruel to a cat,
I find it best to use my large bat.
Double entendre is crude
Pray I’m not being rude
Insinuating Overlord’s fat.
Enjoy
PS3

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 9:22 PMThere once was a man in the woods
He had with him, a plethera of goods.
I made them march yonder
Brought down the thunder
A puddle of his piss is where he stood

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 10:29 PMThere once was a lord who ruled over,
an evil infested pagoda,
he called on his minions,
to loot a dominion,
they crushed all the flowers and clover.
360 please :)

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 10:30 PMIn my yard I have a tree,
A dog came and did a pee.
What has this to do
With Overlord 2?
No idea, please version for PS3!

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 11:22 PMI the Overlord entered a competition at Kotaku,
Because all other entries were poo,
I pillage and rape towns
Let my minions be clowns
Now gimme the game or I’ll do you.

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 12:51 AMWhen out on a raid in the day,
the Overlord was heard to say,
‘Minions may be weak,
but at least they are cheap,
so please don’t tell their union okay’
Xbox 360 version please.

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 6:35 AMThere once was a being called Suaron
Who in the end was a bit of moron

On my finger course
But with no finger he’s really quite borin’

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 7:00 AMI can be evil without having to rhyme
And kill millions and it would be fine
But to win a game about me
And it’s not on the Wii
Well for that your soul will be mine.
PS3 … grrrr
Kent Dempsey
Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 9:00 AMI, the darkest of dark Overlords
Will ensure that ye never get bored!
You can slaughter the good
MAYBE get a li’l wood!
All the sick joy your soul can afford!

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 9:00 AMoops, 360 pls

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 9:01 AMOnce an Overlord farted
Got superpowers and killed more
He tried going insane
It all felt mundane
So he decided to fall on his sword

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 9:27 AMHere’s my shot for day 2:
You Minions have such a good job,
although you’re a real ugly mob,
you bash seals with bats,
wear their heads as skull caps,
and PETA can just sit there and sob.
Console: Xbox360

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 9:40 AMTo the peasants I’m called Overlord
For I pillage their lands with my Horde
They burn and they sack
They maim and they hack
but WHY CAN’T THEY CROSS THIS FJORD?!
I have a 360 and a PS3, but I’ll take the PS3 version please. :)
gasch
Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 9:49 AMThe laughter roars over the field,
The cries for help is no shield,
A minion or two seize a pup of seal,
A terrible act if not for me, the Overlord,
Which makes me stand-up to close the deal,
And let my vicious laughter roar when I draw my Sword…
(Thanks for cool comp. 360 version plx)
Andeh
Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 9:51 AMThe Overlord murdered a farmer
With little regard for his karma
A girl asked him why
He’d murdered that guy
He replied, “I’ve played too much ArmA.”
Xbox 360 please!

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 9:52 AMThere once was an evil dark lord
Who’d amassed his own evil horde
One day he was sittin’
Mastocating a kitten
and thought “evil” wasn’t a bad enough word
PS3 pls!

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 9:57 AMTinkering with a toilet and brush,
I made it quite weird to be flushed.
When a man came along,
Dropped his pants to his thongs,
He became horribly covered in slush.
Ps3 Heree ;)

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 10:05 AMAn Overlord today did die
Another came to eat his pie.
His minions wanted some too…
They asked for pie what they must do
The Overlord, he turned them into stew.
PS3 pls~
