Totally forgot to make a thread about this! Now i loved the first one, (Shadow of Chernobyl) couldn't get into the Second one at all. (Clear Sky) So do i give this a go? At only £15 on Steam i may give it a go. :)

The game was released on the 5th Feb.

£18 on Amazon at the mo and the same at Play.com

Only £15 on Steam at the mo too.


The events of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat unfold shortly after the end of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. Having discovered about the open path to the Zone center, the government decides to hold a large-scale military "Fairway" operation aimed to take the CNPP under control.



According to the operation's plan, the first military group is to conduct an air scouting of the territory to map out the detailed layouts of anomalous fields location. Thereafter, making use of the maps, the main military forces are to be dispatched.

Despite thorough preparations, the operation fails. Most of the avant-garde helicopters crash. In order to collect information on reasons behind the operation failure, Ukraine's Security Service send their agent into the Zone center.
From now on everything depends on the player.

I've still got the first two S.T.A.L.K.E.R games to try :o . I bought them from the Steam sale a while back, but I've not had the time to give them a try.

£15 doesn't seem bad for an addon assuming that you get plenty of extra game time. :)
 
Been playing it for the past week now - Fantastic game! Definitely the best in the series.

Drat darn and blast.

So I think I''l give it a miss for now. Besides I'm stuck in the first game, crawled out of the sewers into the dark and before I can turn around I get shot.
