The next big video game release on the horizon is the final installment in what has been one of the most epic RPG sagas in recent gaming history: The Witcher.  Based on a series of novels by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, the games follow Witcher (monster hunter, basically) Geralt of Rivia as he travels the land, slaying beasts, completing quests and the whatnot.  Boasting some of the strongest graphics on any console on which it’s published, The Witcher III promises an immense game world.  Just to give you an idea how immense, the two planned expansions for the game; THE ADD-ONS; are said to take 30 hours to complete.  Plan on spending a lot of monster slaying fun with Geralt when the game hits consoles and PC on May 19, 2015.  Achievements (and trophies) below courtesy of xboxachievements.org, which is THE go-to site on the net for such things.
