I very much agree, STALKER has been one of my favorite shooters in the past few years. It's main flaw is simply that it's hugely buggy, though mods have gone a long way to fix it. I also bought Clear Sky, which promised a lot but didn't deliver anywhere near as well as the first game. The second game is too populated and this reduces the great feeling of lonely exploration that there was throughout much of the first game. Even so, I'm looking forward to the third game which is due out later this year.
