IGN: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat Review

Though it's not quite as surprising as the original, it's still a standout game that deserves to be given a chance by anyone that reads this. There aren't many titles able to offer up such an incredible atmosphere mixed with enjoyable mechanics, and even if some bits of the game remain uneven, it's an experience that will stick with you long after it's over.

Hope to pick it up this in a week or so, great reviews so far. Console gamers often say "PC gets no good exclusives", games like this defy that reality. It might not get as many exclusives but when it does they are usually gems. :)

AAA PC exclusive from a SMALL time developer. This game and the series is THE BEST series right after Half Life.

to remind yourself there is still hope for the FPS genre even when it appears there is none at all.

Definitely deserves support from us. Coming from a small dev, it's such a good series. I remember being blown away by the perfect balance between FPS-RPG elements in the first game back in 2007.

And I'm so glad they haven't gone multiplat, unlike some other ex-PC exclusive devs.... *cough*Crytek*cough*

Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
