    is it just as taxing on the graphics card?

    Re: For STALKER Fans!!!

    Vodka as an anti rad is an awesome idea

    The level design is the best I've seen in any game, ever. It's also one of the scariest and atmospheric games I've ever played.

    I'm playing through it again atm, and I was in the X18 labs with the wonderful poltergiests. After about half an hour I just decided to rambo my way through it because it was too much for me I'm in the place with the zombies now, which is memory serves me is even worse, but the game is just so good I have to keep playing.

    The furthest I've been is Pripyat, then I had exams/new PC and just forgot all about it.

    I ran it alright on my old PC which was a 256mb 7800gs AGP, and it runs max (near enough) on a 512mb 2900XT, so if your system specs are right then you'll easily run it.

    Re: For STALKER Fans!!!

    I was actually quite disappointed with this game. I tried it and thought It was awsome at first, very original and very atmospheric, and I thought I was gonna absolutely fall in love with it but for me it got tedious very quickly. Did you not hate the constant walking from place to place and then back again? Seeing the same bits of land with carbon copy npcs and enemies? The graphics are awsome and the premise of the game is brilliant but I just couldn't stick with it. Who knows, maybe I'll pick it up and try it again some time because it is a very unique game.
