    Disappointed by this game. So frustrating you would not believe.

    I have played many games trust me, i started with wolfenstein back years ago. And this has to be the most annoying game that God could have possibly created. I literally have to save almost every 2 seconds, because the e... Read Full Review

    The wait was worth it!

    What can I say? It's realistic, looks and plays great, and has an atmosphere of mystery and despair like no other game I've played! S.T.A.K.L.E.R. is one of the best game centered around sci-fi realism out there, and it... Read Full Review

    Shows lots of potential

    This game treats the player like an RPG player and not a run and gun junkie. In the first 15 minutes of gameplay I got myself into a shoot out and was dead pretty quickly. At times it did feel like shooting at the bad g... Read Full Review

    An Instant Classic!

    This is by no means your typical FPS (or FPRPG) so it's obviously not for everyone. Blending an extremely realistic ballistics & physics model, intense FPS combat and simple open-ended RPG elements all rolled into on... Read Full Review

    STALKER has been in development since 2002, is it worth the wait?

    Chernobyl, a nuclear power plant within Ukraine (then part of the Soviet Union) was known little by common people outside of the USSR. However, in April of 1986, this all changed when Reactor 4 within the plant exploded.... Read Full Review

    It may not be as they said it would be... but its still one damn fine game...

    Romping through endless coridors, and long linear paths are the usual thing for a fps... but stalker gives you a complete new type of level to be explored... in an action/fps/rpg type hybrid... the so called "levels... Read Full Review
