THQ produced one hell of a game when they picked up STALKER. This is “The Elder Scrolls” for FPS Fans, or at least the closest we’re going to get for quite a while. There is a ton to do in single player, and that’s without even touching on the main storyline. I am looking very forward to any future expansion packs or anything else released for this game.

If you’re looking for a new FPS to play, one that has compelling both single player and hectic multiplayer, then STALKER is your game. And at the retail $40 price tag it was released at, you’ll find it to be quite the bargain in a couple of months when you’re still just as sucked into the game as you were the first day you tried it.
