It's not often that constantly delayed games live up to the hype that builds over years of waiting, but S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl certainly has the potential. The dreariness of a burnt out, post-apocalyptic environment; the necessity to loot the bodies of friends in order to survive; and the realization that a handful of bullets and a protein bar are worth more than any amount of money are feelings I haven't experienced since playing Fallout. After spending a significant amount of time with the single player beta of S.T.A.L.K.E.R., I can tell you that the Zone is a very fun place to be.

Wow, that is the first thing I've read on the SP modes, and it looks really great. I can't wait for this freakin game.

Its funny how he goes from the guy who never kills anyone in games unless he has to killing anyone who has a better weapon than him.

I think according to gamespot the game is gold now. Any ETA?

Dark Lord · Mar 3, 2007, 02:10 AM

march 20th. the end of the article said its gold also.

huh... EB games has stalker listed for only 39.99. thats gotta be a typo, but id like to think hte game is only 40 bucks.

39.99 is right.

I guess they felt bad for the delays but this game is goin to sell like crazy.

C&C comes out the same day and Shivering Isles shortly after.

Yay for march!

This game is a 9.99 game, or it should be. Its not worth 39.99. This game stinks bad.

why is that?

everything about the game to me so far screams Oblivion, but as an FPS in chernobyl. and that is not a bad thing at all.

after playing the beta for awhile i can see it needs a bit of polishing, but overall it looks like it should be an excellent game.

I tried the MP beta2.. On a 8800GTX it is AWESOME gfxs! Runs really smooth, 7900 and 1900 will handle it fine too.

I never liked MP games without vehicles, so i wont get into mp..

The atmosphere in the game is really nice, small tornados, lightning, time-wrap-holes-thingies.. It feels like HL2, but much more dynamic.

hehe true oblivion missions were fine, although too far a part..
I think actions in stalker have greater consequences than in oblivion.

I like the he-has-bandaids-I-dont-BANG! :-)

heh, ya no kidding. or my personal favorite so far "he has a shotgun, i want it. BAM now i have a shotgun"
