Nice review!
I quite like STALKER, its a little unbalanced at the beginning, but most games are like that when you first play them. Some of the guns later in the game are crazy awesome, and all of the different endings keep the game fresh for a little while longer then most single player FPS'
And the occasional language mishap is good for a few laughs. They did a great job in translating, much better then Starwars ep 3 'The Revenge of the sith' or in this
case 'the backstroke of the west'
