Witcher Versus going across the pond
We knew that The Witcher: Versus would be showing up on browsers, Facebooks and iPhones across America, but according to Gamigo, Europe will be getting it too. Playing Witcher Versus also lets you unlock items for The Witcher 2, being developed by the original Studio CD Projekt RED. I know Chuck really enjoyed the original Witcher and that the series fell on hard times for a while. I'm happy to see it make a comeback and I might finally have the time to get into the deep Witcher RPGs once the sequel arrives.
