CVG can confirm that the Overlord series, a Pikmin-influenced management adventure previously only on 360 and PC, will be making its debut on PS3 this summer with Overlord: Raising Hell.

Raising Hell will feature the full Overlord game that released on 360 last year, as well as all of the download content that has been released to date, all on one Blu-ray disc.

You play as supposedly the most evil being on the planet - who needs some little Gremlin-like dudes, called Minions, to help him out.

Clearly not a plot to be taken too seriously, command your Minions in gameplay uncannily similar to Nintendo's Pikmin games, with Minions in different colours each one with different weaknesses and abilities.

"Use the Minions tactically and they'll always be on hand, ready to sacrifice themselves just to save the Overlord's illustrious arse", says Codemasters.

"Summer" is as specific a release date as Codemasters offers at the moment. First exclusive PS3 screens are below.

This was one of the underated gems on 360 last year and i would recommend it to all PS3 owners. I loved it because it was so different from most games and it was quite funny.

The good news is that there are expensions with one big one being released last week costing money on live which will be included in the PS3 version. Like i said in another thread Overlord ran badly with some freezing issues on my 360 so i might pick this up again for PS3 like i did with Oblivion.

The controls and camera are absolutly awful, made the game commpletely unplayable for me, if they fix that for the PS3 version then it is a decent game, if not, it's crap.....

I would have to disagree. I never had any major problems with the controls.
