S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

Man made hell...

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow Of Chernobyl takes you into a near future where nuclear disaster has taken place. When a strange second explosion at the old Chernobyl site rocks the landscape, it leaves a vast "Exclusion Zone" plagued with deadly energy disturbances in its wake. The quarantined Exclusion Zone expanded over time, and by 2012, specially equipped poachers, known as S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s, venture into the Zone to claim radioactive artifacts for the black market. You are a new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. battling for survival among rivals, soldiers and mutant creatures while trying to discover the true nature of Chernobyl's dark past and horrific future.

I ended up completing the game in under 10 hours by accident. I didn't know where I was going, and I just ended up starting to battle with a group of soldiers I'd never heard of... and then having to run through a nuclear zone, practically naked and very confused, and then somehow finding a stone that killed me.
I still don't know what happened.

This game has a lot of parallels to Deus Ex. I like that more games like this are taking an even less linear path though.

I would prefer if the PDA could be more customized. The default waypointing can be bothersome. The game is still great though.

It's also fair to say however, that even in it's present patched state it's not without glitches. By appearance it seems that missions/tasks can be completed in random order, but I've learned that the system can get messed up. Do a google search about tasking glitches for STALKER and you find that a lot of users still encounter this.

In a way it's sad to see this game arrive late and with so many bugs. The depth of the environments, the RPG-lite elements in your equipment and in the people you meet, the mystery of the Zone.... the bugs and the fact that you can't repair your gear is all that keeps me from giving this game a five.

This reminds me a lot of that game Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. I dunno, maybe just the equipment-buying part. Nevertheless, this is gonna be sweet.

In a way it has many RPG elements. A lot of them have gotten stripped out but many are still there I would assume. Game looks great to me.

been looking forward to this game for a while. Read an english translation of the short story it's based on, or at least the theme is taken from really cool stuff.
