As I'm writing this, S.T.A.L.K.E.R is currently installing on my Red19 rig (Vista Ultimate 64). To pass the time I thought I'd waste it on blogging a bit more for the day.
I plan to write-up a short review, or summary/precis, but the latter could cause me to run into problems. It wont be on par with Bit-tech's marvellous reviews, though it wont be too crappy either.
My only worry is that it wont run, as I've seen many reports floating around the internet complaining about STALKER's (minus the p.e.r.i.o.d.s) lack of compatibility with Windows Vista. I wiped XP off of my gaming rig prior to installing Vista as I wanted to throw myself into the deep end. Unfortunately, this could backfire on me - in that I may have a copy of STALKER but no means of playing it, for the near future at least.
Oh well, at least the 4 screenshots on the back cover of the DVD case should keep me occupied for a bit...
