S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Cosplay Earns A Standing Ovation

From who? Why, the internet, of course. When a bunch of cosplaying S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fans decided to hit the woods and engage in some wargames, re-enact some of the game's battles, fucking around was not on the schedule of events. They brought real weapons. Real uniforms. Real armoured personnel carriers. To real Chernobyl. The results (and resulting photgraphy) is a sight to behold.

Steam Has Moment Of Clarity, Gets S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Exclusive

Fans of GSC Game World's S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl who haven't yet had their fill of shooting radioactive mutants will be pleased to have installed Steam today, as the prequel has been announced as exclusive to the digital distribution platform. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky will still be coming to retail shelves early this year, but it won't be available online outside of Steam, a nice get for the boys and girls at Valve. For a look at the first-person shooter's ability to render grass and all things abandoned, check out a baker's dozen screen shots in the gallery below. Official word on the game is after the jump.

Eyes On S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky

While the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. title Shadow of Chernobyl had a rather bumpy time in development, the new prequel S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky is shaping up much faster than its delay-plagued older brother. Officially announced on the first day of E3, GSC Game World was ready to show the new title to the press in the form of a short demonstration of a level of game play, highlighting the improvements made over the previous release. As you may have heard this game takes place roughly a year before the events in SoC, following the story of another Stalker as he climbs the ranks of various factions, seeks out the power plant deep in the middle of the zone, and ultimately finds himself at odds with the protagonist of the first game.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Swiping From Doom 3, Half-Life 2?

Shacknews has a great roundup on the current controversy surrounding GSC Game World's recently released PC shooter S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. The ruckus, originally uncovered by posters at the MapCore forums, stems from a series of lighting textures and water textures included in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. that appear to be ripped directly from id's Doom 3 and Valve's Half-Life 2.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Gold!

About two years ago, I made the prediction that GSC Game World's S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, already four years in development at that point, would never see the light of day. That's something I wish were only partly true, as S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a pain in the ass to type. But publisher THQ has proven me wrong by announcing that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has indeed gone gold and will ship this March for the PC. The first-person shooter from the Ukrainian dev features a spooky blend of sci-fi and horror in a post nuclear Chernobyl. More »

Clip: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Last Man Standing

Graphics are teh amazing, too bad I can't get the damn beta to run on my PC. It keeps crashing on me and slowing down. Very strange, especially on a PC running an AMD X2 4600+ dual core, two gigs of memory and a NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GX2 graphics card. More »
