Three from Codemasters

I spent an inordinate amount of time at the Codemasters booth this afternoon. That kind of thing happens when a company’s entire E3 lineup is sequels to games I've loved.

Overlord Ii takes the basic premise of the original—you’re an evil overlord, sending your minions into harm’s way to further your evil plans—and amps it up to 11. Overlord was a fantastic game that was good enough that you put up with its quirks because you wanted to see more. Codemasters listened to the feedback from Overlord players and implemented a new control scheme—it’s now dramatically easier to direct your minions—and added a minimap so you no longer get lost wandering around. There are tons of additions, including mounts (such as wolves) for your minions, creatures such as the abominable snowman who can be lured into helping your evil, siege weapons, and amped up dark, evil humor. A demo will be available exclusively to Xbox LIVE Gold members on June 4, with the game arriving towards the end of the month.

 
Xbox 360 owners who enjoy realistic, strategic combat instead of run-and-gun action are sure to appreciate Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising. You lead a four-man Marine strike force against Chinese PLA soldiers in a battle to capture the huge open-world island of Skura. It’s part tactical FPS, part strategic wargame, as you plan your attacks in order to take control of the island. The game features 60 authentic weapons, over 25 PLA and US Army vehicles to drive, and best of all, a co-op campaign mode.

 
Finally, there’s DIRT 2. The sequel to the fast-action rally racing game sports improved physics and damage, a world tour campaign, new events, amazing scenery, and both realistic and fantasy tracks to slide around on.
