Dark events in history often form the background to many action video
games, most notably world wars and smaller armed conflicts. How many,
though, take a civilian nuclear disaster from over 20 years ago and
turn that into the basis of a first person shooter, with nods to
adventure and role playing? How games have gone through 6 years of
development with multiple release date claims, only to miss most of
them? How many have done both? Only one and that's S.T.A.L.K.E.R. -
Shadow of Chernobyl.
Covering both the original release and the latest v1.0001 patch (just
how much smaller can version release numbers get!?), our review tests
how STALKER looks and runs across a whole range of hardware - a system
unique to YouGamers.
