The Witcher:Wild Hunt
Been playing this game for a few hours hours now and really like it. One problem that I am finding is that the world map only shows a small amout of the huge world at a time which I find makes it quite hard to navigate it. It really needs a bigger 'zoom in/out' feature to show all of the world map on the screen. Overall…

Free site for games
I just thought I'd share a nice little site I found by accident where you can play a few games for free. The only problem is that there are too few players as the site appears quite new.
