    STALKER: Clear Sky tries so astonishingly hard to improve upon the original title that it's tremendously difficult not to be impressed. The problem is the implementation of the admittedly brilliant new ideas, which creates something of a mixed experience. With Clear Sky, developers GSC Game World seem to have attempted to bring even more life to the wondrously dark expanse of The Zone. In this respect they have absolutely succeeded, but often at the expense of a cohesive... Read more

    After a gestation period that could only be rivalled by the collective efforts of 15 pregnant elephants, GSC Game World's STALKER eventually became the most atmospheric and original shooter to feature in these pages in recent years. A lovable rogue of a game with a fair few rough edges in presentation that belied some razor-sharp gunplay and genuinely unsettling wanders through the wilderness. And now, the Zone wants us back. Clear Sky kicks off a year before Shadow Of... Read more

    Night has fallen and the call goes up on the radio, a cry for help from a group of Stalkers under attack by mutants. Read more

    After being blocked in a main story mission by a flame that was spawned to make my escape from an underground facility more dramatic, I found myself unable to pass though it, untill after jumping on a barrier found I could then “JUMP ONTO THE HORIZONTAL JET OF FLAME” and escape. I then decided to read up on the game and try to get some back story into why its so utterly broken, I was interested to find out that apparently the original Stalker went through the same...

    The skies are not as clear as they seem in this prequel, but swarming with more bugs than a tropical rainforest. Read more

    Main goal of the game is survive, not only you, everyone else in the zone depends on it. You have to be very careful because dieing is easy, you have to keep an eye always in the radiation detector, your level of radiation poisoning, and remember that you can die by bleeding if you are short of bandages, medkits will not save you from that easily. The most amazing weapon is the tank machine gun, its like an 'i win' button at close range until it starts to wear down and... Read more

    The best story FPS shooter ever ! Beautiful graphics with excellent game atmosphere. Little bit tough for older hardware - but it wort for upgrade for sure. I changed my old Radeon X1950pro to 4850 OC and with C2D 3GHz its GREAT EXPERIENCE. Multiplayer is very interesting as well. Different than my No.1 MP: COD4mw -but great entertainment. Read more
