STALKER beta test soon?
A little sketchy, but apparently a Russian games magazine has run a competition to win reserved spots in the beta for STALKER. This has led some folks to speculate that a public beta is going to happen very soon.
STALKER is due in a couple of months. Plenty of time to iron out all the bugs. *cough*
The site is worth a look round if you have any interest in this moderately disturbing game.
