Prepare for a hellishly good time being bad with
Think evil, breed evil and control all (with lots of laughs along the way) as Codemasters® confirms new edition of acclaimed action adventure.
The deliciously despotic Overlord and his horde of raucous minions will return this summer as Codemasters® announces that Overlord: Raising Hell™, a compendium of tyrannical treats, is coming to the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system.
The creation of Dutch developer Triumph Studios, the original Overlord™ was a best seller in 2007 when published for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft® and PC. Overlord: Raising Hell™ will mark the game’s first appearance on the PLAYSTATION 3 system and deliver the complete Overlord experience, including all expansion content, in one exclusive edition.
Set in a seriously twisted fantasy world, Overlord: Raising Hell is an action adventure that has players being ruthless, determined, and even a little despotic as they pillage lands and conquer kingdoms in order to be proclaimed the all-powerful Overlord. At the heart of the game is an army of slavish little creatures known as Minions, and their presence provides Overlord: Raising Hell with its deliciously dark comedic touches.

Mini Boombox GSM Cell Phone – GadgetMania
This mini slider cell phone features a built in MP3 playing boombox that gets surprisingly loud. The best part, you don’t have to forsake your existing cell phone (unless you want to). Simply pop the SIM card out of your current cell phone from AT&T/Cingular or T-Mobile and insert it into the back of the Mini Boombox Cell Phone and power it up. Call your existing cell phone number and your Mini Boombox phone starts ringing. Of course you get all the standard cell phone features you would expect including a 1.3 megapixel camera, voice dialing, SMS/MMS messaging and WAP Browser. One nice trick we like is the ability for the phone to read aloud the numbers of incoming calls using voice synthesis. The Mini Boombox GSM Cell Phone comes with 256 MB of built in memory to store your MP3 music files or videos, and the storage is expandable up to 2GB via a Micro SD card slot. Now you can share your musical tastes with everyone around you without making your old phone mad.
