For those of you who like to look at the bigger picture from time to time, take a look at BBC's article on how the gaming industry fares when pitched against abstract and far flung ideas such as globalisation and regional identity.

(S.T.A.L.K.E.R.) or writer Andrzej Sapkowski (The Witcher)."

"It is, by far, the best CRPG to come down the pike since Baldur’s Gate II."
