The publishers of S.T.A.L.K.E.R., THQ, have today issued a press release officially announcing that they are shipping S.T.A.L.K.E.R. to stores in North America.<blockquote>AGOURA HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 20, 2007--THQ Inc. (NASDAQ:THQI) today announced that critically-acclaimed S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl has shipped exclusively for Windows PC. Offering a unique combination of First-Person Shooter (FPS) and Survival-Horror action, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl gives gamers unprecedented freedom to explore the devastated exclusion zone that surrounds the Chernobyl power plant following a second apocalyptic explosion. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl is now available at retail outlets nationwide for the suggested price of $39.99.</blockquote>The North American release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has been accompanied by a flood of reviews over the past few days. The general consensus seems to be that the game is quite good, though it is held back by some unpolished elements. While the environment and world of the game are highly regarded, the story is generally thought to be weak and the game apparently is somewhat buggy. Several reviewers state that though this game is not for everyone, many players will thoroughly enjoy it. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has had the fortune to have been awarded a score of 80% or above by every English review so far.
