PC gamers will be frolicking through the radioactive wastelands of Chernobyl once more with the release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky, now set for August 29th. The post-apocalyptic prequel promises "an alternative look" into the events of 2007's S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, pitting players against radioactive decay and mutated creatures with one too many of something. Probably teeth. Also, it's apparently "set in 2011 and brings forth the events to have preceded the third campaign of Strelok to the Zone center." Exciting!
Developer GSC Game World aims to ship the shooter simultaneously worldwide "according to the agreed plan." If said plan falls through, there's always the consolation of the game's day and date release on Steam.

You know, if that is what will greet us in 2011, I'm going to need a hardhat. Possibly a large amount of sugar to decay those wanna-tear-flesh teeth.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is the perfect example of a great game destroyed by bugs and glitches. It didn't get as great of reviews as it deserved because it was rushed. I hope this new attempt will have better luck.

I wont say it was rushed(tons of delays), but the world was fantastic... I just wanted to explore it with friends because there was so much to it. I as well never finished it. Wouldn't mind seeing ports to consoles with c00p in mind or some form of mini MMO element.

The game out of the box is crap, after you get the patches, it's awesome, it's definitely worth the money. I enjoyed it alot.

Hmmm.... this should play quite well on my Pavillion Ultimate arriving next week. Between one of those bad boys and a Wii/DS what more does a gamer need?
