Synopsis from the official site [URL]http://www.evilplanet.com[/URL]
"In this strategy / simulation game created by Elixir Studios, the player assumes the role of an evil mastermind bent on achieving global domination through the construction of the ultimate doomsday device. Build a secret base, gain infamy and notoriety by completing daring missions, repel the forces of justice in real-time combat and develop evil super weapons to complete a nefarious master plan. Evil Genius is a tongue-in-cheek take on the 60's spy thriller genre offering the player the chance to play the villain himself and control a secret island fortress complete with powerful henchmen, loyal minions and a wide range of hilarious gizmos, gadgets and traps."

I actually laughed at that bit. I've never laughed at a game before...
Manage your own 60s super villain underground lair, train minions, fight off agencies from around the world and capture and interrogate and/or gloat at secret agents. I particularly liked the interrogation bits, where minions tortured prisoners by dancing like Michael Jackson.
There’s humour aplenty, good graphics and a catchy theme tune on the main menu. I'll defiantly be getting this one.
If I remember to, I will be buying this game.
