Critical Gamer Writes: We're now up to the third game in the Stalker series, with the critically acclaimed Shadow of Chernobyl and the mostly ignored Clear Skies leaving us in some doubt as to what we can expect. Will it be another flawed masterpiece like SoC? Promising so much, only to be hamstrung by crippling bugs. Or perhaps it will be like Clear Skies, taking the wonderful setting and misusing it, to the point where the charm of the world bleeds out through poor design decisions. It's impossible to make a definitive judgement from our hands-on, but for Stalker fans there's every reason to be optimistic.
