May is the Month of the Witcher, and we'll be hearing a lot about it in the coming weeks, leading up to and after the launch on the 17th. The Witcher 2 is with little doubt one of the biggest role playing game releases this year (and what a year it is! Deus Ex 3! Dragon Age 2! Mass Effect 3! Skyrim! Oh my!), and a game you probably don't want to miss.
I propose we use this thread to gather any previews, reviews, hypes and trailers of The Witcher 2 we come across, as we start the countdown to the ultimate RPG experience of 2011!
Allow me to begin:
Not sure whether or not The Witcher 2 is for you? You will want to read this excellent 12 Splendid Things about The Witcher 2 article over at RPS
Also, and [url=http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/penny_arcade_on_the_witcher]Barefoot_Monkey has let us known that Tycho of Penny Arcade can't wait for The Witcher 2, and wish he had preordered the game on GOG rather than Steam. You can read it here:

From that Penny Arcade article, I can also link two excellent previews of The Witcher 2:
One from Eurogamer (written by RPS Alec Meer), here
The other from PC Gamer, here
If you rather like your previews in moving images, Gametrailers got you covered. Albeit filmed on a machine that appears to buckle under the pressure of running both the awesomeness of the Witcher 2, and whatever recording software they used. Anyway, you get the gist of it. It is also the most popular video on the service at the moment.
Feel free to contribute with any other articles or stuff you can find. And don't forget that The Witcher 2 starts preloading only on GOG, on the 10th of May!
