S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat may only be three years old but at the time of release it was already looking dated, mainly as it was still re-using assets and the engine from the first S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game. Now a modding team is ready to re...

Despite my sadness that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 may never happen, Vostok Games' MMOFPS Survarium might just fill that void. In a blog post today, the developers outlined the timeline they are aiming for and when players can get early access to the...

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a shooter, an RPG, a trading simulator, and a survival horror game all wrapped up in one. It has a rich and deep game world, but its depth has probably scared away most people from trying to tackle this ambitious series. O...

Last year, it was announced that Ukranian studio GSC was closing and that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 had been canceled. This week, it turns out that the long-awaited radioactive survival FPS is back on the menu! "The Stalker team is extremely ha...

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games have always been some of the major go-to examples for showing how much of a positive impact modding can have. You definitely can't go wrong with the Complete series of mods, which streamline the overhaul process. Th...

Listen up anyone who played the S.T.A.L.K.E.R games. You are all jerks. They are solid games, but you made the game popular and now we have to once again type out all those periods every time we want to talk about its officially confirmed s...

I'm going to be honest with you guys -- I've never played S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, the GCS Game World developed first-person PC shooter. From what I understand, despite being being released nearly six years after its announcemen...

Yesterday the lovely Dale North posted on the first of an ongoing series of interviews between the current President of Nintendo Japan Saturo Iwata, and his kind of ex-employee and Smash Bros. creative director Masahiro Sakurai. Even for th...

It appears that S.T.A.L.K.E.R., the wonderfully flawed postapocalyptic action/rpg, is getting a sequel. PrimoTechnology (no relation to Primatech Paper) recently announced that thanks to "positive reaction[s] to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. all ov...

Chris Remo over at Shacknews brings us word of an impending slice of drama that has made me giggle like a school girl with a vibrator for the last couple minutes. It seems that the just-released S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:Shadow of Chernobyl might jus...

S.T.A.L.K.E.R., the next generic FPS that you'll probably forget about a week after having bought it, has finally gone gold, according to Shacknews. This is only monumental due to the fact that the game has been in development for more ...
