S.T.A.L.K.E.R. goes on sale this week. Can it possibly live up to the hype and the myth behind its oft-delayed release? Can it take the FPS/RPG genre and do something worth playing?

"It’s been a long time coming - the game was originally scheduled for a 2003 release - but for the most part it has been worth the wait. Stalker may not be quite the revolution it was once heralded as and it has its fair share of problems, but there’s a great deal to like about the gameplay and the wonderfully realised environment in which it is set."
