I've gotta admit, when it comes to video games, there's nothing that excites me less than the obvious Hollywood-style scores these big budget games have been employing. So while obviously a fantasy game like the Witcher 2 needs to feature sweeping orchestrated music to set the mood, watching a trailer about how it was composed pretty much bores me to tears. If you were showing me some NES-era sound engineer painstakingly inputting a score note by note into some antiquated code rendering program maybe I'd be interested, but there's nothing novel here, these kids could be singing about anything. 

Anyhow, I'm sure that thrilling intro has really enticed you to click the play button. Your call.

Game info: Defining new standards for realistic, non-linear game narration, The Witcher 2 spins a mature, thought-provoking story to produce one of the most unique RPGs ever released on consoles. Every player decision may lead to dire consequences, which have an actual impact on future events and the world.
