S.T.A.L.K.E.R. follow-up

I wouldn't even pretend that I follow video games as close as I used to.  I knew about Clear Sky, the prequel to Shadow of Chernobyl, but I only recently became aware of the development of Call of Pripyat, the latest sequel currently due out this fall.

Scavenger, Trespasser, Adventurer, Loner, Killer, Explorer, Robber

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. takes place in "The Zone," the area surrounding the Chernobyl nuclear power plant where a second nuclear disaster lead to the appearance of physics-defying anomalies and the artifacts they produce.  You play as an amnesic Stalker plying your trade (artifact retrieval) while trying to piece together your past.
