<a href="http://www.stalker-game.com/">STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl</a> has beat out some stiff compeptition to become the <a href="http://mostwanted.gamespy.com/2005/top10/3.html">third most anticipated game of 2005</a>, beaten only by Jade Empire and The Legend of Zelda, on <a href="http://www.gamespy.com">Gamespy's</a> list.<blockquote>Apart from making allowing them to make a killing selling post-nuke trophies, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. promises to reward players in myriad other ways. For one, the world in which it is set will be both enormous and highly detailed. Developer GSC is based in the Ukraine, and apparently its artists have had much in the way of access to post-meltdown photographic materials. This will ensure that scenery accurately reflects the sort of visual devastation that such a tragedy would effect upon an area. Yippie! All the inhabitants will also purportedly boast unique A.I. systems that will allow them to act in convincingly human ways. They'll also have set schedules that dictate their behavior, which further extends the illusion.
 
 In short: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. sounds ambitious as hell, and if it realizes half of what it promises, then it's truly set to make some waves. Color us hyped about the possibilities.
 </blockquote>I can't wait to see those dragons.

Don't forget the cyborgs.

Damn it, if it weren't for Zelda being on that list, I could make an awesome joke about like "STALKER? Jade Empire? [Third game that'll suck pretty bad]? Isn't this a list of most likely disappointing games of 2005?"

FOILED BY NINTENDO!

Well, Zelda also sucks the shit, so why not say it anyway?

Zelda was only good on teh nintendo 8-bit.... probably only since one was a kid.

Damn you, Final Fantasy rocks.

Ah, yeah, if they had put FF12 or some other Final Fantasy piece of shit on that list, it would have worked great.

FF was disappointing
