STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl was released by THQ as a retail game in March 2007, approximately two years ago. Although it was still a little bit rough around the edges, this only added to its character as a post-apocalyptic shooter.
Contrary to its sequel - Clear Skies, the game was well received by game critics and received high scores all around the world, with an average of 82.15%.
These days it can be bought for around $19.99, a price well worth to pay. However, if you’re quick, you might be able to grab it for free.
GameTap, an online Pay ‘n Download games merchant, has released the first STALKER game as a free download, at least until the end of the week. Be quick and grab a copy, read below about the game and GameTap instructions. Please note that this is a modified copy by GameTap. As a result, it can’t be used for any of the available mods.
Most free games we see around here are either very short, experimental episodes, or multiplayer games. A full-fledged singleplayer adventure isn’t something we see each day in the world of free gaming, mainly because it takes huge amounts of additional planning, coding and - most of all - money. Perhaps STALKER sounds a prelude for times to come, perhaps it’s merely a one-time event. Anyhow, it’s a chance not to be missed.
