Gametap writes 'Developed in the Ukraine by GSC Game World (who also brought you Heroes of Annihilated Empires and Cossacks), S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl is a landmark first-person shooter with RPG elements from THQ. Set in the city of Chernobyl after a fictional 2006 nuclear disaster, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a "sandbox" style game, allowing players to explore the large in-game world as they please in a non-linear fashion. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a remarkable game, and has sold over 2 million copies to date.'
