You don't think we are both actually buying it to try it, do you Ghost?

That is very true. There are loads of up and coming developers in ex Eastern Block countries now developing some great game ideas. They just don't normally have the design skills to make them as polished as the established developers can. But the biggest issue is normally always with the story telling and how it develops during the game.

There are exceptions though. STALKER was a pretty good game, although the sequel "Clear Sky" was a bit of a let down as it didn't really add anything new, but suddenly increased the difficulty.

Back to the game, I also noticed on a couple of sites that it was listed with a 2006/7 release date. Maybe it was released in Russia at that time, and has only now been converted to English for a release in the West?
