Wow, yet another excellent game, although it is now a couple of years old, (released in 2007) this is still a great FPS with a different twist to your normal run and gun First Person Shooter. If you like post apocalyptic games with mutated life forms and bands of maurauding mercenaries, this is a game you should definitely pick up while it's so cheap.
It was a little different from the usual war and army based games at the time of relase. I was still playing Battlefield 2 every day since it was released two years earlier (it's still one of the best FPS games I've ever played, especially as you can get hundreds of gigabytes of extra content through custom made mods and many maps, both single and multi player. You can tell the game has been a winner because the developers are still releasing patches for the game. The latet patch is v1.5 and includes a new map and two booster packs that were initially not free which contain loads of extras plus six more new maps for the base game) anyway, that was going off the point of this post, lol. Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl is one of the first games I really enjoyed playing after so long playing one game (though I was still buying all the latest releases, just not playing them apart from checking them out when I first installed them - a stupid waste of money as many of those games are being sold at a fraction of the cost I paid for them). I loved this game and bought the sequel, Stalker: Clear Sky, which wasn't as good game wise (IMO) but had slightly better graphics. Both games are still well worth having in any discerning gamers collection, though only Shadow of Chernobyl is available on offer.
This is about the cost of a Big Mac and fries with a drink and some apple pie.
