Mr V1ND1CT1VE "Gamer Spotlight"

1. Hello my name is…
My GT is Mr V1ND1CT1VE

2. Is that anywhere near Dog River… (Where did you grow up and what was it like there?)
I was born in RedDeer, AB and settled in Lethbridge back in '00. Lethbridge is an okay place, not too big, not too small, but I call it home. Only downside is there's no race track. But I might be moving to Edmonton in 2007 or 8 depending how things go.

Codemasters: Overlord - 360/PC - Summer 2007

Overlord is a groundbreaking action adventure, set in a seriously warped fantasy world, launching for PC and as a console exclusive for the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.

Controlling a mysterious figure that has inherited the legacy of the evil, long-dead Overlord, the player emerges, near death, from the ruins of the old Overlord’s Dark Tower. Only the player’s actions will determine if they will rise to become the new all-powerful Overlord; it’s all down to how much of a bad ass they want to be in order to succeed...evil or really evil! Played out with plenty of black humour and dark irony, the game will immerse players in twisted parodies of classic fantasy scenarios and characters.
