In this first video developer diary for the Xbox 360 version of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, the team at CD Projekt RED spends five minutes detailing the extensive work that’s gone into adapting the role-playing epic from PC to console. They are adamant about not calling it a port, and rightfully so considering how much the engine and gameplay systems have been retooled around the Xbox 360 hardware. The camera system and controls have been rewritten from scratch, the targeting system and user interface have been optimized for console controller play, and new events and sub-quests have been added to beef up the game’s final chapter. And that’s only the beginning, folks. Even more enhancements are still to be announced!

About the Author
Matt Litten is a 28 year old from-the-womb gamer turned video game reviewer/blogger and current editor/owner/operator of VGBlogger.com. Matt got his first taste of gaming as a youngster on the NES and Atari, and the rest is history from there.
In 2004, three years removed from high school and still looking for a career direction in life, Matt landed his first gig in the video game review business writing for the now-defunct website BonusStage.com. After the sad and untimely close of BonusStage, the former staff went on to found VGBlogger.com, and after a short stint as US Site Manager for AceGamez Matt turned his attention to VGBlogger, and to this day is dedicated to making it one of the top video game blogs in all the blogosphere.
Matt is a fair-minded reviewer and lover of games of all platforms and types, big or small, hyped or niche, big-budget or indie. But that doesn't mean he will let poor games slide without a good thrashing when necessary.
