Game: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Played a bit of Stalker yesterday. It's a nice first-person shooter but has some issues (don't try playing it on Vista, neither did I).

Good:

• Atmospheric: great graphics, huge maps, great architecture and maps!
• Immersive, open-ended... it seems there are 7 different endings.
• Survival - you get attacked by wild dogs.
• Horror!
• Lots to explore. Again: mapdesign is great!
  
• Lots of different factions.
  

Bad:

• Inventory system could be smoother.
• Story could be clearer.
• High system reqs.

Ugly:

• Bugs!
• Overhyped game.
• Late release.
• Don't use Vista.
