Evil Genius Demo

Coffee Warlord · 08-31-2004, 12:14 PM

Came across this last night. It's basically Dungeon Keeper, except you're an Evil Overlord defending/building your lair. Got a little kick from it. Might hafta chalk this one up as Yet Another Game To Buy, as it comes out soon.

And now that I think about it. This September seems like a lot of interesting titles are coming out. Rome:Total War, Sims 2 (I just know I'll wind up buying this, despite my better sense), and now this. The wallet may be in pain in the coming weeks.

It definitely reminds me of Dungeon Keeper, with some No One Lives Forever spycraft comedic overtones. Not sure I will be getting it right away, mostly due to all the other great games you mentioned are coming out soon. And DK was one of those games that seemed awesome right away, but that wore off quickly.

I've been looking at this game for a while now during its development. I'll give the demo a try. I am just sick of buying games that I think I will play and they just end up collecting dust.

Just don't show it to your boss, CW.

He might think you're getting ideas.

I saw this yesterday too. I thought it was neat. Reminded me of DK as well. I played DK for a LONG time before I stopped. This demo made me want to reinstall it again. I'll probably get this, but not right away. Too many games coming out in Sept. already.

Intrigued by this I have to say, Demis has some cool ideas and I thought Republic showed promise (although imho it probably didn't end up the game he had planned at the start) .... will probably give it a whirl once FM's out of the game.
