Abstract: The hero of The Witcher 2 looks like a cross between Edgar Winters and the saxophone player from The Lost Boys. During the dialogue, his delivery is very Christopher Lambert. He has amnesia, of course, and a hawt mage girlfriend. His name sounds like G...
Regardless of the lack of DX11, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is a visually stunning game and it's right up there with Crysis 2 as the best looking DX9 titles around. While patch v1.1 delivered a much-needed performance boost, The Witcher 2 is sti...
Abstract: The Witcher 2 is such a fucking treat. Rarely does a series so lavishly reward its fans for participating in a game's fiction as the Witcher series aims to do, but the fruits of CDProjekt RED's labor are readily apparent in Assassins of Kings, and a to...

Abstract: Eastern European developers continue to show that they understand the heart of the PC gamer with The Witcher 2, a title that challenges players with its difficult combat, old-school attitude, and mature story. Digital rights management. Sloppy ports. P...
