I've been a console gamer nearly all my life but that changed last year with Dragon Age Origins. Since then I've developed a taste for middle ages type PC games. The Witcher 2 seemed to fit into that category so I gave it a try. After spending some time with it I can say it's certainly no DAO - not even close! I don't care for any of the characters, the script and accents aren't true to any historic period or region, the battles feel clunky, and the music just isn't cutting it.

But The Witcher 2 isn't terrible. The developers did an excellent job of rendering the main redhead's lady bits... the rest of the game doesn't look too shabby either. And while the battles feel a little clunky, there's an element of strategy to them if you decide to play on the higher difficulty levels. Nothing too groundbreaking or addicting, but it'll kill some time.

Oh right, what's up with the locked doors? It's 2011, are we seriously still putting locked doors in games? It seems like an insult to the gamer when you give him an ability to blow away destructible objects but require him to find a key for a wooden door. If it were a moral issue then I wonder why he's allowed to ransack unlocked houses... It seems like I'm nitpicking but my point is that The Witcher 2 is a very by the books game, nothing really groundbreaking here.

It looks so pretty though.
