Evil Genius Demo out

How evil am I? Pretty darned evil.

Vivendi Universal (the people that killed off Sierra On-Line) have a game inspired by the dark side of super hero and spy flicks, and probably a little bit of the classic "Dungeon Keeper" to boot. Create an secret lair, and defend it from the goody-goody heroes with traps and minions.

I can't wait to see how evil I really am. I think I'm above-average.

Update: Turns out that I'm faily despicable, which I discovered after playing the newly released demo of Evil Genius. They've managed to take most of the tedium out of micro-management games like this, and you get to focus on the fun stuff, like interrogating the secret agent that managed to find your cavernous lair. There's actually the option to GLOAT over your captured hero. That's fun stuff!

Evil Genius should be out next month. I can hardly wait!
