Stalker is very unusual and ambitious and quite different from the normal first person shooter. Some people have likened it to Oblivion because of it's rpg leanings and it's not a bad comparison. It's world isn't quite as big or as open as Oblivions but it's highly atmospheric. The story is compelling too. However, it is a game which benefits from some of the many mods and tweaks available for it.

See http://www.tweakguides.com/STALKER_1.html and http://stalker.filefront.com/ for some good stuff. Be careful not to over-mod it though as some of the mods are pretty game breaking. Aim for a balance by playing the game un-modded first and see what you think would improve it.

Latest patch here btw: http://stalker.filefront.com/news/STALK ... ased;36048

Also bear in mind Stalker uses the SucuROM copy protection system which some people have issues with.

Overall a highly recommended game. The multiplayer is quite good too

That's about it. I have more games of course, but i tend to uninstall those i have lost interest in, and then dig them forth once a year and replay them. I haven't completed FEAR once again though. For some reason, knowing the horrors about to happen is even more scary than being surprised by the unknown...
