You know what guys? Forget every other PC RPG and go get The Witcher 2 (that is if you haven’t purchased it already).

The Enhanced Edition comes with new characters, new locations, extended outro, new adventures, new cut-scenes and lots of other features. Seriously now, companies like BioWare and Capcom decided to cut major content from their games to sell it afterwards as DLC and made a lot of money. CD Projekt RED, on the other hand, decided to respect their fans and offer MORE stuff for free. They deserve your support guys, plain and simple!

After watching this new cinematic of The Witcher 2’s enhanced edition, I can safely say that graphics do matter. Sure, everyone prefers gameplay over graphics but we wouldn’t be using SLI and Crossfire systems if we didn’t want the extra eye-candy, right?

Well, here is hoping that we’ll actually play… someday… games with this kind of graphics. Until then though, enjoy this new cinematic – courtesy of GameTrailers. The Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition will be released on the PC on the 17th of April and if you already own the game, you will receive the upgrade to the Enhanced Edition for free!
