Released over a decade ago in early 2001, Shadow of Memories is a deeply flawed, deeply rewarding game that just SHOULDN’T work. Its story is told entirely through cutscenes. The gameplay consists of running around an overcast German town trying to trigger these cutscenes. It controls poorly, the graphics were considered dated a decade ago, and the voice-performances,... (more...)

First we thought it was dead, then a sparkle of hope emerges. If you now check the S.T.A.L.K.E.R Official Facebook-page you can see this (and massive amounts of happy fans):   It’ll interesting to see how the story develops.
