Evil Genius
   

In the fine tradition of Dungeon Keeper... Evil Genius.

The demo pretty much took over my Sunday evening.

The demo was too short though. But it definitely peaked my interest.
Looks to be a cool, fun, funny game.

I had some fun with that demo too
I like the 60's spy flick motif alot, had the sudden urge to fix myself a martini while playing it. Shaken of course, not stirred ='.'=

I loved Dungeon Keeper, but when I saw this it looked kind of stupid.

I guess I need to give it a try...

just finished the demo. you are right Val it is almost the same as dungeon keeper. Accept: Dungeon keeper was much funnier and even the graphics looked better than evil genius. although it is nice to have some fun with nice game, but can't beat the original

I was kinda interested in this, but after the demo failed to run on my mashine I single-handedly decided it is not worth the trouble.

What are you smoking? Evil Genius's graphics technology is waaaaaaaay more advanced than Dungeon Keepers's.

they are more advanced yeah, but still I liked the dungeon keepers more, I find them better, especiaaly if you look at the graphics of evil genius in this era and that of dungeon keeper in his era. If you look it that way you have to admit that they were real good for those times. and dungeon keeper had a much darker sphere and like that a lot too. I have to admit since playing evil genius I want to play dungeon keeper again

It is possible that you don't really like cartooney graphics (which Evil Genius has). I can understand that, but they're definitely way more advanced than Dungeon Keeper's. Oh, have you ever played Startopia? It's a pretty good game very much like Dungeon Keeper except you're in space with aliens. It can be very addicting.

I've tried the full version and I'm not all that impressed. I think DK (2) and Startopia are much better games.

It'll be worth it on budget if you see it at that price.
