Yes, they cost too much plus they aren't easily available in my city plus what about the money i paid for a gaming PC which is way better than a console ? ;) Thats why I don;t like consoles much.

Imagine when all these games are released, in december, you will be full of your HDD and nil of your purse. But not me, coz, i got a pc which can't run farcry properly.


But,all the best for you buddies. Have a great time playing those titles. I would also be enjoying the beauty of these titles by reading reviews, seeing GamePlay videos, Trailers. And closing my eyes imaginating that i am playing those games. Will be close enough to the reality:).

The UK PC Gaming Mag PCZone has reviewed S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Clear Sky.

*stalker.filefront.com/news/FIRST_Clear_Sky_Review_is_in;39530

It obtained an 88%. That is 5% more than what they gave Shadow of Chernobyl.
Here is the summary of the review.

Graphics: DX10 version astounds

Sound: Meaty guns, spooky wailing

Multiplayer: It's there, but you won't play it


The Good:

* Dynamic Faction Warfare works
* Weapons and combat are meaty, visceral and solid
* Some astounding visuals
* Random radiation blasts are ace


The Bad:

* The odd bum mission
* Crap script, storytelling and characters again


88
Enriching

I never go on reviews, its play and appreciate kinda thing. And yeah I knew STALKER is back with what it was originally intended to be like *s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj44/visio159/Unismilies/23.png

The greatest thing is that this company care for end users. Ditched THQ for too much restriction and went for Koch media without any fear of less publicity. Provided excellent forum and community. Even Developers used to hang around to take users feedback. Released like 5 patches correcting things. I friggin love them.

The price of game is justified too. Let these people give more good games, live longer GSC. I support you.

Look at the game requirements despite the version 1.5 of game engine. Its still the same. You can play it with your not so decent hardware too. Me so likes.
Afterall its not your typical shiny eye candy game *s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj44/visio159/Unismilies/44.png

"The reason being was that there was a shipping bottleneck in Poland (Probably due to the whole Georgia conflict) that caused them to move up the release date for the world wide version another week"

*www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=942067&topic=44880105

Its releasing on the original date in Russia, so there will be no delay more than 5th sep

Its a good news for me, as 5th is near pay day :p

Its probably because the game is certified gold from now (i read this somewhere) that they are short on Game copies. And thats the reason for the delay. Still, STALKER ftw... :D

The requirements are more then what it needs. STALKER recommanded E6500 in recommanded and I played it on everything MAX and @1440x900 with my OC'd E4500 :D
This time around too, its the same. Sure the game has got a graphical boost, but its not much and this game dosent promise to be a descendent of Crysis:D.

The new Prince of Persia looks sucketh to the core.... cartoony animations and the prince looks like a comic book character !! Duh! UbiSoft ruined it. I wish they had created something like Assassins Creed but they phailed.
