S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has finally reached beta approval stage

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a first-person Shooter that was first announced in 2002 and has been anticipayted ever since. This game uses an actual enviroment, Chernobyl and its near surrounding. It has many elements never before seen in first-person shooters as the need to hunt and eat as well as that every pice of equipment wears out. Not to forget sleeping, so if you forget to sleep or eat this impacts on accuracy, stamina, and health of course. If equipment is not mantained then it may mailfunction easily. The storyline is non-linear and thus every action taken by the player impacts on his/her game expierence.
This game will be available in 32 and 64-bit versions (64-Bit will probably look better), the sys. req. will be high so be prepared to upgrade. I personally think that you should be fine if you can play 'HL2: Aftermath'.
The ETA on this game early 2007...

P.S. Yes, Vehicles will be available too but they as well will wear out, the game takes place on approximatly 30 square kilometers, these are taken out of the real world for the most parts.
