My goodness, this week im so addicted to the survival first-person shooter game, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.
Basically, the game is all about the aftermath of the second nuclear disaster occurs at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the near future, which causes strange changes in the area around it. You play as the character, Mark One, which has temporary lost his memory after a truck crashes accident. The story continues when you were found by the Lone Stalker and blah blah blah..
The game offer a huge zone for you to explore, but it is too big till you find it irritating when you need to cross across the zone to complete your mission. It also kinda lack of fear factor when you are around the zone. During the night, you do not feel the total darkness and the need to survive, you can simply bring the character to a saver zone, sit back and relax till the day pops and continue your mission. But when playing in the sewage or underground complex, it has an eerie atmosphere which make you fear for your character's life.
Few things i like about the game is the NPCs communicate with one another in russian, and the vast varies of russian weapons and the use of "realistic" bullet physics. Which make it a more realistic shooter game. All in all, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl feels right and it is definately an unique survival shooter game.
