]]> There’s only a few more months left (hopefully), before we get to put our clammy and Dorito dust-laden hands on a PS4/Xbox One copy of the Witcher 3. Not a problem…we should be able to deal with the wait just fine. Play through the original Witcher. If you’ve already traveled down that road, then hit up the amazing Witcher 2. If you’ve already finished that game, then dammit, play through both games again.


Annnnd after you’ve accomplished that quest, and still have some time left over before the Witcher 3 releases, then watch the video below. Heck, watch it now. It’s not exactly Interview with a Vampire-caliber (Tom Cruise in a wig, Antonio Banderas seducing everything with legs, and Brad Pitt’s flowing locks…enough to make even the manliest of men blush), but it gets pretty darn close. Prepare to be introduced to a real life Witcher, folks, though as you’ll find out, being a Witcher ain’t all it’s cracked up to be.

]]> CD Projekt Red is back again with a new cinematic trailer called “Killing Monsters”, for The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt. The trailer’s theme takes a pretty figurative slant on the title, “Killing Monsters”, and also shows how Geralt will have difficult decisions to make when approaching missions and characters. And as we’ve heard from the developers before; each choice will have its own set of consequences. Watch the trailer and tell us what you think!

 

While it was not a gameplay trailer, the “Uprising” Gamescom trailer for Thief shows an interesting Robin Hood-esque theme flowing throughout the video, with a city/nation encumbered with poverty, disease, and strife (echoes of Dishonored?), while Garrett acts the part of the game-changer; stealing from the rich and falsely-entitled, to give to the poor and needy citizens of the land. We’ve seen this theme a few times before in other games, so it will be interesting to see how Eidos-Montreal adds their own flavor to this much-used altruist trope in games. And by the by; the release date for Thief is February 25th, 2013 for the PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4. Sorry, no Wii U version has been announced yet.

 

Dying Light by Techland may just end up surprising us. A mixture of Mirror’s Edge parkour, and Dead Island’s wide, open, zombie-filled city sandbox, this game might actually be something to keep on your radar. The ultra-realistic graphics seem a little too  similar to (but visually better than) Dead Island, and while we’re not completely convinced of its on-the-surface allure, we have been smitten by it’s fast and fluid gameplay. If done right, this game could be the go-to zombie game of the coming year. And with Techland finally expanding its studios out of Poland, their new office near Vancouver in Canada could provide the resources needed to help polish this game to perfection. Only time will tell.
