What are the sys requirements on this one?

Only got my laptop atm, and whilst the processor is pretty powerful CoreDuo 2ghz, the graphics card is crap - x1300.

No point entering if I can't play it...

We now have the keys and I'm mailing the winners from the draw right now.

Apologies for the delay but THQ wanted to mkae sure you'd all have a solid and enjoyable experience of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. so there was a slight delay.

Good luck! :D

All the winners have now been mailed with their access codes and joining instructions.

Congrats to those who got picked!

We had a simply MASSIVE number of entries so my cut and paste skills for dragging keys out of Excel are now known as 'ph3ars0m3'... yes.

If it\'s an Invalid CD key error, hit ENTER after typing in the key...

That one caught me out!

There's been people writing previews, but I'd just double check on the STALKER forums first.

Had a play this morning, not graphically stunning, but the gameplay is fluid and a lot of fun. It feels a lot like the SWAT mod for the original unreal.

Sounds like less than 100, probably less than 40, as otherwise you would have set-up some sort of mail merge.

Thanks for your efforts, and for blagging the keys from THQ.

Nope... I mailed out individually becuase I wanted to be sure everyone got a unique key... and I haven't a clue how to mail merge... I don't even know what it means....

But I do have massive amount of data on my clipboard! :)

Took me the best part of four hours yesterday.

Turns out doing the draw was the easy bit!
