One... MILLION... dollars!

If you like computer games, you must check out the Evil Genius demo. Build your lair, manage your henchmen and minions, and try to take over the world...

Update: This is a fun game. Even though the demo's pretty limited, the humor really shines through. It's like all those world-building conquest games (Warcraft, Starcraft, Age of Empires...) meets Austin Powers. (Actually, it's supposed to be more like Dungeon Keeper meets Austin Powers, but I've never played that one.)

Here's a screenshot of my Blofeldian avatar gloating as he's about to win the demo:

The game's gone to the presses, and should be out this coming month. I've never really been into the Age of Empires-like games, but I think this one might actually hold my interest.

A couple of questions spring to mind, though: when my minions kill an enemy agent, they stuff him in a body bag and drag him to the lair's freezer. Why? And whence does the mess hall get its supplies?

Instead of interrogating the guy in the chair, when selecting a device, click on the counter with the mixer in the back of that mess hall.

Ok, not really, but the incident is pretty funny. > >
