S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky gets delayed again in North America

They’ve done it again. Deep Silver announced that due to “a manufacturing problem,” S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky will hit retail stores in North America on September 15, 2008. Unfortunately, the digital download release date has not yet been determined.
There were no other details mentioned in Deep Silver’s press release (like you know, what this “manufacturing problem” […]

After all, publisher Deep Silver promised that despite the initial delay, the FPS/RPG is expected to arrive on September 5, 2008.
Forget what Deep Silver said because there’s going […]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky goes gold, gets delayed

We have good news and bad news. First, the good: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky has finally gone gold. As for the bad—the PC exclusive is going to be released a week later than the originally announced date. From August 29, the Shadow of Chernobyl prequel is coming on September 5 instead.
Does a week’s delay really matter […]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky almost looks real

You gotta love your PC-exclusive FPS. Aside from superior controls, longevity, and gameplay, the graphics are just topnotch. From the looks of things (pun intended), S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky surpasses the sweet visuals of its predecessor. Want proof? Just watch the video above for a comparison.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. prequel shipping in Q3 2008

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl is an FPS/RPG hybrid that took six years in the making. It’s not quite as good Half-Life 2, which also took around the same time to develop, but S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is obviously not as bad as Turning Point: Fall of Liberty.
Actually, I find Shadow of Chernobyl quite entertaining, so I’m pleased to hear […]

Yes, you read right. The same game whose German community is on strike because of a lack of patch support is coming up with S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, a prequel to the GSC-developed shooter, and we’ve got proof with the trailer below:

Far Cry 2 ditches old scheme and takes S.T.A.L.K.E.R. approach

It seems Ubisoft has learned its lesson. The French publisher made a research on what made Far Cry cool, and discovered that it was the realistic parts at the beginning of the game (i.e. when you were raiding military camps and using all sorts of strategy to survive) that consumers liked most.

And what’s not […]
