ROTT is a reminder that just because we label a bunch of games with the same genre doesn't necessarily mean they're at all similar. Modern FPS games tend to be a rather passive affair, boasting strong visuals, 'clever' AI and a slow, rather plodding pace. ROTT provides a refreshing counterpoint by putting fun, pace and wonderful level design at the top of the list. Turn up the music and difficulty level, turn down the soundeffects and blast your way to the exit - this is a game classic shooter fans won't want to miss. Shooters are fun again - let's hope they stay that way!
The Witcher is by far one of the best RPGs I've ever played. Not only is it genuinely exciting with an absorbing story but it also actually forces you to roleplay the character... something which is just not as common as you might think in Computer/Console RPGs. I've enjoyed playing quite a few RPGs in my time, be they Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate or Dragon Age but The Witcher was one of very few I finished. And it was one I just couldn't bring myself to step away from for too long. If anyone's a bit unsure of it because they've heard it might be a little rough around the edges, I fully recommend they give it a go. Thoroughly enjoyable and well worth the hours it took to complete.
