Codemasters and Triumph Studios caught everyone off guard in 2007 with the release of the first Overlord. It was gorgeous and funny and fun to play and no one expected it to be as good as it was. Of course, with that success comes higher expectations, and a lot more is expected of Overlord II than to just be a cult hit. Do the new evil overlord and his band of naughty minions capture the same magic as the first game? Find out right here in our full Overlord II review.

Here we are, three and a half years after its release, and Fight Night Round 3 is still one of our favorite Xbox 360 games. To say that Fight Night Round 4 has a lot to live up to is a massive understatement. Does Round 4 meet the challenge? Yes and no. It is definitely a step above as far as presentation goes, but there is just something about the gameplay that falls a little short. Find out all of the details in our full review right here.

Another Harry Potter movie, another Harry Potter game. This is a good thing, of course, because we actually quite liked the last one. Half-Blood Prince isn’t a huge jump over Order of the Phoenix as far as presentation or core gameplay goes, but it does offer a few great minigames and a couple of hilarious set-pieces, and even though we ran all over the castle in the last game already, exploring Hogwarts is still a lot of fun. Fans of the series, especially kids, will love it.

Chris Cashman just announced it tonight during 1 vs. 100 Live. Skill-based prizes will start being awarded Friday, July 10th. The game is still considered to be in Beta, but Microsoft is going to start giving away prizes. Great news!

Just to clarify. Skill-based prizes are only awarded during 1 vs. 100 Live shows on Friday and Saturday. You can win prizes as the One by eliminating all 100 members of the Mob or by quitting and taking the prize. Or if you're in the Mob you can win by answering questions correctly until the One loses. The top three players in the crowd will also win an XBLA game.

A few other announcements tonight were that there will be a Community Written episode of Extended play four days a week. And there will be Videogame Trivia every Monday in Extended play. The current sweepstakes (which you earn entries for in Extended Play) is coming to a close on Sunday, July 12th, but a new one will start on Monday, July 13th.
