My flatmate has a PS3 which backwards compatibles most things. How much would a second hand copy of this gem cost me?
I've largely loved games that are pretty as well as fun (see: Beyond good and evil)

It lasts 3 seconds, everyone's got an annoying name and my favourite bit of it has the arguably worst name of all: twing twang. But I do so LOVE to play twing-bloody-twang.

Stalker: shadow of chernobyl.
It is ace and also woo.
Pretty, in a sparse way, immersive, lovingly made. Top game so far.
The beginning, if you play on a non-pussy difficulty level, is rat-bastard hard though.

Is this a spy stealthy guns game? If it is my OTHER male close friend will no doubt buy it soon.

a first-person perspective fallout, with less humour.
You wake up in the area around the ruis of chernobyl in an alternate present where there were TWO unrequested fission surplusses, and now weird shit goes on there. You have to go do standard RPG fare (bring me stuff, kill this animal) to get better stuff and work your way towards the heart of the contaminated Zone and find out what the fuck's up. There are bandits and mutants and wild animals but most of the time there's just you and the environment.
The blasted buildings and associated bits and bobs are brilliantly put together and beautifully rendered, very evocative of abandonment.
there's quite a strong fan community who have modded it many ways, including making a kind of free-roaming, storyless version.
I'm just really liking the feel of it really.

I might have to grab it on payday- thanks for the tip!
