Guru3D writes: "GSC Game World and Koch Media have announced S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, the prequel to the irradiated first-person shooter S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, will hit the store shelves mid September 2008, and will be published by the games labels Deep Silver and GSC World Publishing.
When the original S.t.a.l.k.e.r was first released the game was a little shock and awe with a controversial topics and surroundings. S.t.a.l.k.e.r to date has been one of the best ever sold games in the history of PC gaming. it's a robust and solid title with loads of levels and maps. Most of all it gives you a great game play feeling combined with the visual candy that we Guru3D folks like so much."
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is about to launch and we've noticed player counts for the original trilogy spiking in anticipation.
"Mechanically, Clear Sky is a surprising leap ahead of Shadow of Chornobyl. Shooting, which was already solid, is tightened further. Mercifully, armour can be upgraded and repaired and there are now much more gear set combinations. This is further complemented by an increased emphasis on artefacts as a necessary adjunct to your gear set. The key aspect that elevates this prequel above its forebear is the extra focus on inventory customisation." - Ken Talbot| NintendoLife
Review - S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky should be seen as an expansion rather than a full prequel, but it is one that fans will enjoy nonetheless.
