S.T.A.L.K.E.R

[MetalMilitia]

I was wrong about this game. I think my problem was that I was playing it like a FPS. As soon as I started playing it like an RPG it got a whole lot more fun. Some of the horror-type sequences are fantastic, too. Really Doom 3-esc but even more 'edge of your seat'.

The whole inventory/weapons system is really cool. You can do stuff like pick up fallen enemies guns and pull off attachments (scopes grenade launchers etc) and remove ammunition and put them on/in your own gun. Also searching dead enemies will usually turn up ammo, food, bandages and all sorts of other useful junk.

It's a HUGE game and it's really fun exploring the maps, mainly because the art style is so well done but also because you can find some really cool items.
