Forgot about this one, sounds different...

QUOTE:

You still have to be fairly tactical about how you command the minions. Sure, you can have a laugh watching them get slaughtered, but it’s even better to use them as a distraction while you sneak up to attack the enemy from behind, or seize the opportunity to charge up and unleash a devastating magic spell. Tactics play an even larger role later on, where green, red and blue minions come into play. Green minions act as ninja assassins and are best used to sneak around enemies and attack them from behind. Red minions are immune to fire, and their ability to throw fireballs makes them good for attacking at medium range. Blue minions are weak in combat, but act as support troops, being able to resurrect fallen allies if they reach them in time. The control system for selecting minion units is very similar to Fable, with each group colour-coded with the Xbox 360 controller face buttons. Moving them around is very intuitive too. You can sweep them around manually using the Right thumbstick. And whenever they bump into an enemy or destructible object, they’ll immediately go ape and attack it automatically.

Throw in a little Kameo, too :P


Also, I know they announced this game a while ago. Have they released any gameplay vids, yet?
