Overlord Minions

Overlord Minions is a puzzle game published by Codemasters for the Nintendo DS.

Overlord: Minions is a spin-off of the story begun in Overlord: Dark Legend, the action-adventure game for the Nintendo Wii. Three games—Minions, Overlord 2, Overlord: Dark Legend—are planned for simultaneous release on June 23, 2009. The stories for all three games have been written by Rhianna Pratchett, daughter of Discworld series creator Terry Pratchett.1up.com: Rhianna Pratchett Returns to Pen Codemasters' Overlord 2 (October 17, 2008)

Overlord 2 is the sequel to the Overlord game released for the Xbox 360 and PC in 2007. In Overlord 2, which will also be available on the PS3, players take on the role of a different Overlord. The powerful Glorious Empire is systematically conquering kingdoms and eliminating any magic it comes across, and the Overlord must lead his minions to defeat them.

For Wii owners, there's Overlord: Dark Legend, a prequel to the first Overlord game. Players take on the role of a young Overlord who has just come into his powers.IGN: Overlord II Interview (October 16, 2008)
