Witcher fans will be happy to know that the Directors Cut of the Wither: Enhanced Edition.  The new version includes performance tweaks, new dialog, new animations,two new adventures, and the mature content (i.e. topless maidens) that didn't make it to the US version when it was originally released.  The content is available to existing owners as a free patch or you can download the full game from Stardock's Impulse service.

I have to give the folks at CD Projekt credit for continuing to support and extend the product.  Is there any other game you would like to see a director's cut of?  Let us know in the comments.
