Here's a glowing Xbox review:

There's a link to the actual PC review at the end. It's kind of snuck up on me, but I'm excited.

Ive been playing my way thought Witcher 2 for the 360 cause im a dirty pirate arrr.

Its alright, the controls are not that great after all it was designed for a Keyboard/Mouse setup but it does the job.

I'm having a slight learning curve with the controls but the game is pretty sweet so far.

Just finished Chapter 1 of the Witcher. No way I can see that I don't play this game twice. It looks like the choice I just made will effect every single thing moving forward to the point where it's two different games.

I'm just messing around Flotsam. Haven't had a chance to sit down and burn a few hours and really get into it, but so far I really like it. Geralt seems to have just enough antihero in him to keep from being obnoxious and Triss is definitely not you typical damsel in distress. Combat is ok.

Well - beat Dark Souls today. It took just a shade under 70 hours. Some of the boss battles are among the hardest video game experiences I've ever had. Final boss...holy shit. Relentless pace and so frustrating. Didn't think I would ever win but after two hours I cracked the puzzle enough to take him out.

The PvP is what makes this game TRULY awesome but overall insanely fun. Difficult but very rarely cheap. Once you get past the tedious first few hours it really opens up and gets great.

I finally got Dark Souls in November and just finished it today. Took me about 75 hours. It only took me two tries to kill the last boss though, which really surprised me (it took me days to beat the last boss in Demons Souls). My pyromancy was maxed out though, so I just unloaded a lot of my fire spells, while dodging and backing up a lot. My armor was also really strong. Never felt so satisfied finishing a game before.

Flam, did you ever get into Dragon's Dogma? You should check it out... And use my pawn, lol!

Yeah, I was actually thinking about Dragon's Dogma last week. I haven't played it but if the demo is still up, it'll definitely get checked out. My backlog is a little crazy right now so it'll be a while until I check this out if I dig the demo.

I'm still playing Dungeon Defenders, plus I have Borderlands 2, and Ni No Kuni is definitely getting a purchase, so there's a lot of grinding to be done.

Nice! Let me know when you start up Borderlands 2. We can do some co-op.
