"I’ve been pretty clear on the fact that I love Fallout in all its forms. From the classic turn-based RPG by Interplay to the first-person sequels by Bethesda. When I heard that there was a game called S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl that would let me wander around a radioactive wasteland using a mix of first person shooting, RPG and free roaming I was terribly excited because it sounded a lot like Fallout 3.

"A few weeks ago, an extremely unexpected and radically depressing statement flew across the internet like wildfire: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. developer GSC Game World announced that they were closing, and that the official second game in the series would be canceled.

The third game in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, Call of Pripyat represents a chance for players to tell their own stories, and despite some quirks, remains a compelling and unique gameplay experience.
""While not a big departure from other S.T.A.L.K.E.R. titles, Call of Pripyat’s gameplay manages to nail the sense of isolation and sparseness of its landscape very well, with firefights occurring not really as often as they would in other shooter titles. The game moves along very slowly and takes a while to truly pick up and feels pretty scripted at times, but is an otherwise solid experience.""
"After being available in Japan for a little over a year, Level-5's gorgeous RPG White Knight Chronicles will be released on the PlayStation 3 this week. It will be joined by two big PC releases, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat and Star Trek Online."
"The successful S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series has sold over two million copies worldwide, and the newest episode seamlessly connects to Shadow of Chernobyl. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat is one of the first PC games to support the new DirectX 11 technology, following in the footsteps of Colin McRae: DiRT 2 and acting as a precursor to the highly-anticipated Aliens Vs. Predator."
