Nice, quiet and lovely scenery, isn’t it? Nope, that’s not a photograph or some painting by the old masters, folks. That’s a screen shot from The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (Enhanced Edition) for the Xbox 360. The folks at CD Projekt RED think it’s one of the best-looking games on the system and I absolutely agree. More on other stuff I agreed with shortly when I file my hands-on preview. April 17 is right around the corner, I know, I know. But the huge boxed 360 version of the Collector’s Edition is already sold out everywhere, so that bodes quite well for the developer, I’d say. As for the rest of you 360 owners looking for the next great epic to play, your only chance to grab this gorgeous, mature RPG with a whopping sixteen endings (!) will be the Standard Edition (also coming to PC on the same day), which for my money, SHOULD have “Best RPG of 2012” stamped on the front, back and sides in big flaming letters.
Back in a bit with more – this one’s going to be spectacular…
"DESTROY ALL FANBOYS!" 
I want to believe it, I really do… but I can’t imagine that the Witcher 2 will look as good as that screen shot on the xbox 360. However, I’m eager to be proven wrong and regardless this game is excellent. I feel like it’s been an age since it was annouced for the 360 and I had forgotten all about it! Thanks for putting it back on my radar! 🙂

Oh, When you see the game live, you’ll be floored. I have no idea how CD Projekt RED did it, but it’s definitely amazing to look at. THe only thing I noticed from the build was some texture pop-in during a cutscene, but it didn’t happen at all in the gameplay and it’s something a lot of games have issues with when they use the actual game engine for the cinemas.
