STALKER is a hard game to describe. It just has to be played. Yes it was a frustrating @ times, but the experience and immersion were absoutely out of this world. The harsh climates and bleak overtone really help draw you into the world.
This is one of my favorite games!
Hardware/Software- Game needs a bit of horsepower to enjoy properly. Update your drivers and get STALKING!!!
