The Witcher 2

I have been waiting for this game to come now for months and months I have been on the hype train and for the first time in a while it has lived up to its hype it is probably a breath of fresh air in the modern gaming market.  It brings a fantastic story, dialogue and gameplay mechanics with a challenging feel to it I started the game off on midnight on Monday/Tuesday and I have been playing it exclusively up till now on hard mode (I didn't want to risk a death starting on Insane). I have been surprised on how hard this game actually is, to the point where I am actually finding it harder than other RPG titles such as Demon's Souls and the like.
  You start the game off a little after the first game and it imports saves and shit so make sure you give the first game a play so you have a full grasp on the universe and the story so far...Attacking a castle with the king that you managed to save his life at the end of the first game (Which really isn't a spoiler).  You have encounters on the walls against many types of enemies and even a dragon enters the fray which will have a larger role to play in the game further on...I have reached the end of Act 2 so far on hard and I am loving every minute of it and hoping it keeps up to standards as the game goes on.
  The game brings an adult sense of the stereotypical tolkienesque RPG type of game where there are whores, drugs and gambling around you all the time which gives it a really dark gritty feeling which can almost be believable.
  I am totally glad this game has met my standards and Project RED seem to be fantastic developers and really need to be watched in the coming years if they consider to keep up with The Witcher IP. Personally I would give the game a 9/10 and hope to see more of this sort of game (Looking at you Dark Souls).
  Aaaaand off I go to play some more....
