Win Overlord 2, Be Evil

Tags: Overlord 2, Bitmob Giveaway, Horror Week

Feeling inspired by Shoe's recent story on the evil things we do in video games? Now's your chance to indulge your dark side with everyone's favorite baby seal murder simulator, Overlord 2!

Codemasters sent us two copies of the diabolical game -- one for PS3, one for 360. To win them, tell us in the comments the first thing you'd do if you had an army of evil minions at your bidding.

(Me, I'd sic them on the oblivious tourists who shamble four abreast and block the sidewalk near my office. Sure, it might hurt the tourism industry, but it'd be heck of a lot easier to get lunch.)

Important: State your system preference in your comment or your entry will be disqualified. We'll be picking one 360 winner and one PS3 winner.

The standard Bitmob contest rules apply: offer good for mainland North American residents, but if you live overseas or in Hawaii and want to PayPal us the shipping costs, we can work that out. Void where prohibited.

Good luck! Check back here in a week to see who won.

If I had an army of evil minions, I'd use them to round up my enemies (and anybody named Phil) and force them to watch Mariah Carey in "Glitter" for hours at a time with no breaks. To me, that is both evil and torturous. (PS3 console here).

Oh, this is easy. I'd order them to raid the local game stores so I can get all of the holiday games that I can't afford. DJ Hero renegade edition? No problem! PS3 slim? Smash down the door! Microsoft Racing Wheel? Crush some skulls!

Fingers crossed for the 360 version, it's always great to see Bitmob rewarding its community.

I would post them around my desk at my office, so people would think twice about pawning their work off on me. Also, I would send them out on missions to bring me gummy bears and Arizona ice tea.

360, please.

I'd stack them and hide them in a trenchcoat and have them awkwardly try to blend in. I know that doesn't sound too evil, but it'd be adorable.
I'll take either, but I'd prefer PS3.

I would have them rob all the banks in the area so that my wife and I could retire to raise our child without the burden of jobs!

360.

Thanks!

What do you mean IF? I usually have them follow me around and act as my "Hype Men", repeating the last thing I say in conversations and generally implying that under no circumstances am I to be F!@#ed with. It's a similar arrangement to that one guy in Cypress Hill who just follows the main guy around repeating the important lyrics over and over.( Insane in the brain!)

My minions are also in charge of cleaning the litterbox.......
PS3 please.

I'd find a narrow alleyway and have one hide in each nook and cranny. That way anyone who walks down will get screeched over and over again.

Oops, 360 version please!

If I had an army of evil minions I'd decapitate all but one of them. I'd then take their heads, plant them, water them, and hope for a good harvest. Me and my last minion would then pass the time playing Modern Warfare 2, smack talking our way to victory. Once ripe I'd harvest the new batch of minions, decapitate all of them, and perform process all over again. After about the 10th generation of evil minions I'd stop, raise my fist to them and declare "LET THE WILD RUMPUS START!" The untold devastation of the aftermath will be biblical...

First, I'd use them to bring Sheri Lewis back from the dead and then force her and them to participate in Lambchop's Play Along for all of eternity. The song that never ends would be broadcasted to all the world's people forever more.

360.

I'm simple. My minions would do my chores - clean dishes and room, wash laundry, and drive me around in my Fiesta limo. -> PS3 please

Adalberto Herrera Jr

October 30, 2009

My minions would carry me on their backs to whichever destination I pleased. That would make shopping for groceries and other things far more interesting.

PS3
I would probably just go about my normal activities and go to school. Difference is that if any body game me any lip or even a dirty look, then a minion would immediately bite off their face or shove a foreign object where you really don't want a foreign object to be.

I'd turn my minions into an army of evil pranksters. For instance, 15 tiny blue demons running into the zoo and riding all the animals while playing Metallica songs on kazoos. Or maybe 15 reds coming into a school with backpacks and school uniforms on, going from class to class barging in, singing songs in French and Spanish, then running away. Just weird, messed up stuff like you might see in a flash mob, only with evil, swearing, salivating multi-colored colored demons. If they kill a few innocents along the way, that's fine, but only after they pulled the prank.

I'd take them over to epic gaming and have them beat the entire staff working on gears of war 2 patches to death. Then I would take them over to starbucks dressed as elves, have them ransack the place, and then burn it to the ground. After that was said and done we'd go to the midnight launch of call of duty modern warfare 2 and take a limited edition with the night vision goggles by force.

Toby Davis

if i could win I choose PS3. Then again I would want to see how many minions I could use and how they interact with those seals.

Scott Haveman

My evil minions would kidnap people can force them to participate in America's Top Whatever-style musical theater competitions. The songs performed are chosen and remixed by my evil minions are suitably evil music (Nickelback, Britney Spears, 98 Degrees). Eventually, the entire world will be included in these Nickelback theater competitions.

I'm good with either system, but I'd prefer PS3.

Ben Haenni

October 30, 2009

I'd have them break all the PS3's and Xbox 360's out there, making sure that no one, even myself, could enjoy the game.

PS3 please.

Ben Haenni

October 30, 2009

Also, could I up my evil count by saying the title should be "Be evil, win Overlord 2"? The current title implies that by winning the game, you can then be evil. I guess that kinda makes sense too, in a way. O well.

Badam Florest

If I had a group of minions I would storm the White House and take the president and make him do stand up comedy while I force Jay Leno to listen. I would prefer Xbox 360 version.

Juan Letona

October 31, 2009

Clubbin baby seals of course! PS3!

Chris Williams

I would provide my minions with large clubs, shovels, several rolls of duct tape and the following hit list:

1. Jon & Kate Gosselin
2. Escalefters (Anyone who stand on the left side of the escalator)
3. People who back into parking spaces
4. The entire cast of "The Hills," but especially Heidi and Spencer
5. People who loop their belts through the designer label patch on their jeans so that you can SEE they're wearing designer jeans
6. Jaime Foxx

Sorry -- PS3 for me.

Ultan O'Connell

If I had minions,I would make them organize gladitorial bouts,fights to the death between both themselves and those I deem need to die(Perez Hilton etc.).Yes,thats right,I would make my minions fight to the death too.I know no mercy.

360 version please.

Tony DaSilva

Well, my minions would have to end apartheid for one. And slow down the nuclear arms race, stop terrorism and world hunger. We have to provide food and shelter for the homeless, and oppose racial discrimination and promote civil rights, while also promoting equal rights for women. We have to encourage a return to traditional moral values. Most importantly, we have to promote general social concern and less materialism in young people.

And then we would wake up in a horror induced cold sweat.

Feeling a bit of Entrepreneurship coming on... Why go through the trouble of plotting evil plots and having to manage all of my minions when they can be rented out by the best evil minds of the land?

Soulless, will-biding and inherently evil servants come at a high market price and it saves me the trouble of management duties!

Jay Henningsen

I'd combine the two most powerful forces in the United States into an insidious nation controlling force. This conglomeration of organized religion and fast food restaurants would be known as Church n' Munch. (Bless you, my son. Would you like fries with that?)

I'd have my minions manning the kitchens as an endless supply of cheap labor, as we churned out equal parts french fries (fried in our patented Friar Fryers, using 100% pure, trans-fat free holy oil) and absolution (get a minor sin forgiven for free when you up-size your Pope Burger value meal!).

I'd soon be in control of the entire populace as they were ensnared in this brilliant, self-perpetuating business. Remember kids: gluttony is a sin!

Just don't ask what's in the special Holy Sauce.

(PS3 please)

Use my minions to take over the the 5 guys who comprise the Canadian army.

I'd use them as sex toys... Evil sex toys... my safe word is foliage.

Chris Cosmo Ross

First they would build a time machine. Then I would send them back to the point in time right before Roger Ebert sparked the whole "games as art" debate, and they would take two thumbs and strategically place them in different parts of Ebert's orifices, then pull.

They would then wear his skin and declare Gigli the greatest movie ever made and demand that Ben Affleck automatically win every Best Actor award known to man, forever. This would, of course, cause internet movie fanatics around the world to simultaneously explode.

Two birds and whatnot.

Console: PS3.

Kenn Quist

October 31, 2009

I would start filming
GREMLINS 3:"Now In Shakey-Cam"
(360)

For me, I would kill a bunch of baby seals. How's that for originality?

PS3, please.

Simon Vanderveen

October 31, 2009

If I had evil minions, I would kill Michael Bay and people's current Transformers memories. Then hire Tim Burton to remake transformer movies.

Andrew Hiscock

Since I am a Newfoundlander, and proud of it, I'd let them join the annual seal hunt. Since clubbing seals is not evil, I'd next let them club a few PETA members to death. Since this is a good thing, I'd have them club notable seal lover Paul McCartney to death. Again, nothing evil here, so I am not doing such a good job with this contest.

To please Brett, I guess I would have the minions protest the seal hunt, spread all sorts of lies and propaganda about it, and ruin the lives of many rural Newfoundlanders and Labradorians with their selfish and self-promoting animal rights activism. Then I would have them start anti-tourism campaigns all over the internet, an industry wholly not responsible for the seal hunt one way or the other.

Man, I hate PETA. And anti-seal hunt activists.

PS3 please.

Adam Eide

October 31, 2009

I would make them act like my live studio audience. they would clap every time I walked through a door and they would laugh hysterically every time I do my signature double eyebrow raise and shrug.
360 version please

Gerry Corcoran

October 31, 2009

I'd send them after all the annoying cyclists in my city who snarkily demand that cars share the road with them while also feeling they are exempt from all the traffic laws they are supposed to apply to them too. Try running that red light with a bunch of reds up on every rooftop ready to cook your ass!

Rigoberto R. Escobar

October 31, 2009

Make them construct another Superman Game and use to conquer the world. All I would have to do is force people to play it and they will serve me just to stop the pain of it all.

Jess Regalado

October 31, 2009

I would send them to Shigeru Miyamoto's house to turture him until he and Nintendo finish and release Pikmin 3.

PS3 please

Kevin Pabst

October 31, 2009

I'd use them as replacements for child-laborers. If anybody tries to say they want to keep their job, they can fight it out, and the winner gets the job.

360, please!

Thomas Williams

October 31, 2009

I'd dress them up in hockey jerseys and have them carry me down the street on their shoulders. I'm not even a hockey fan but that just seems cool

(Either system is fine but I prefer the 360)

Robert Frantz Jr.

I'd disguise them as pokemon, give 'em to some group of 12 year olds, then just sit back and watch the carnage.
"Psyduck, use Spleen Removal NOW!"

Anthony Rice

The first thing I'd do is send them to that state up north and overrun Ann Arbor. Then, after the serious business is out of the way, I think I would make them take midget prisoners, who would carry me on one of those portable thrones to my pirate ship that my minions would have built in less than a day. The aforementioned midgets would then drag the ship across country (else facing the wrath of my army)and we would collect every major landmark in the US as plunder! HAHAHAHAHA!

360, though I'm sure the Ann Arbor comment immediately disqualifies me if Shoe reads it.

Ronald Zimmerman

If I had a pack of evil minions, I'd send them out to:
-steal me some Burger Meister Burgers
-cheat on my taxes
-drive me to work
-drive me back home from work

(XBOX 360)

Luke Flora

If I had a pack of evil minions, I would send them to Codemasters' offices and beat the Overlord dev team into making a decent sequel. The controls are just as frustrating as the first game, the levels are actually less interesting, and it's one of the few games I've sent back to Gamefly without beating. I just put it in the envelope tonight, in fact. Damn the spider mounts.

Carlos Macias

November 01, 2009

I'd probably throw a party and have the minions hide somewhere for a bit. Tell everyone attending the party to get in the pool, take the ladder out, and let my minions pile in as I yell: "The apocalypse is here!"

EVIL.

Either version is fine, but prefer 360. Thanks!

Luke McKinney

November 01, 2009

I'd set them digging and redditing Bitmob articles so we can get more advertising money around this place, unless the article starts with an irrelevant paragraph about what the writer had for lunch in which case they'd beat the phrase "Get to the point" into the author.

360.

Victor Ford

First, I'd send the minions out to chase my neighbors off the block and drive property costs down, so I could buy out my whole neighborhood.

Then, I'd have them build that neighborhood sized fortress I've been dreaming about, complete with moat and over-sized death-ray.

Next, I'd probably start arching someone.

Oh, I don't want the game. I just want someone to eat my neighbors.

Joshua Henderson

November 02, 2009

I would have them go make money for me so I wouldn't have to work. Or maybe steal the money instead. Yeah, that sounds better. Preference would be 360.

Jon Shults

November 05, 2009

I'd keep them all locked in my car until I started to get road raged. Instead of trunk monkey I'd have trunk minions! Much more effective, assuming they don't eat their way out of the car.

360, please.
