Very nice that you're actually going to review it after having won the contest... and what an interesting idea for a contest!!
Very cool!
Have fun... and this is a game I've been looking at for the 360 but am unsure of, so I'll be reading your Witcher 2 blogs!

Totally awesome! Grats on the opportunity =) I need to play this game, as I've heard some really amazing things.
Well, I just checked Steam and evidently I have Witcher 2. Awesome! Now I need to finish up the first game so I can get started on the second. I'd really love for the books to get translated, since I've heard the stories are pretty high caliber - on the same level as Song of Fire and Ice books.

I'll be sure to let you all know if it's worth your time or not.
@Andy
Thanks!
@Arttemis
Get on that! Personally, I'll be playing them out of order, but I've heard there is a good cutscene at the beginning of The Witcher 2 that explains the events of the first game quite well, so I'm not worried about being out of the loop.

I'm really curious to see your opinion after having not playing the first game. I loved the first Witcher and thought the second one was aight.
Sweet! I look forward to these blogs! I've seen this game mentioned on Twitter a lot recently but literally have no clue of anything about the game.

I may not make my presence felt very often but I'm still here. In a lot of ways I'm like that old t-shirt at the bottom of your closet that you used to love but have forgotten about.
@Patrick
My anticipation to play is immense. I'm finally home from work. Dinner is eaten, dishes are done, game is installing. Any minute now....
@Celica
Apparently they're based on a series of books. I personally haven't read them but they're supposed to be pretty good and the games a faithful adaptation. Oh and I've heard it's a bit like Demon's/Dark Souls, which has more excited than I can tell you.

I have a turd PC but This series looks cool. I dont have a 360 either and my ps3 just dies this week.. Arg. Is this coming to ps3 by they way?
I'm very interested in seeing how this version turns out. I've heard great things about the PC version, but my computer's not powerful enough to run it to the fullest. I'll definitely be checking out your upcoming blogs.
What kind of timeframe are we talking here, though, if you'll be beating the game twice? I have no idea how long these games are, but it seems like beating it twice would be an intense time commitment. Good luck!

DUDE! This is awesome. I just picked mine up at the midnight releaze last night, and thought I was the only one on Dtoid who hadn't already played it on PC. I'm still in the early stages, like the first real town you get to. Awesome game so far though. It's doing a lovely job of filling the hole in my heart left by...a certain similar game that should probably remain nameless. Heh.
@lazyhoboguy
It might come to PS3 but nothing has been announced or even hinted at yet.
@Char
Same here, my computer is waaaaay too old to handle a game like Witcher 2. That's part of the reason I'm so excited to review this game!
As far as timeframe, you can expect the impressions blog either by the end of this week or early next week. It's a bit harder to nail down when I'll be posting the review, because this game is pretty long (I've heard it's about 25 hours for one play through) so hopefully I'll have beaten it by mid-may or so.
@Random
*VERY* WELL RECEIVED, GENERALLY!
FTFY
@Legendhead
Now you've got me curious, which came are your referring too?

Mass Effect 3. The similarities are clear, as both games feature a high degree of player involvement and influence over the narrative. Plus they've both branched out into other venues. With that said I'll try to describe the differences.
I spent a decent chunk of time reading up on the Witcher universe this morning and I like how its creator never really sold out. The original novels have spun off into games, at least one film, and a TV series, yet the author has maintained his original vision throughout.
Compare that to ME3 on the other hand, with its random celebrity placement, emphasis on multiplayer over story, its carnival barker DLC practices...it's like comparing a truly iconic band to one that became too successful for its own good, after having sold out years ago.
Witcher 2 is Black Flag to Mass Effect's Metallica.
