I remember thinking that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chenobyl looked like a cool game when it came out, but I avoided it after reading what an unabashed bug-fest it was on initial release.  I then went through the exact same process with Clear Sky!

Now, I get to play Shadow of Chernobyl for cheap (although 20.00 on Steam became 25.00 due to economic bullshit that sees the Canadian dollar drop relative to the US, despite the fact it is the US with a major economic crisis right now, while Canada just has fear of hitting one if the US drags us down with them.  Ahem). 

So far, so good.  Very moody little piece of software.  Very different from Crysis (which I am playing through at the same time).  I have to admit, I have more fun with Crysis, although I appreciate much of what Stalker is doing.  It's just a little too slow-paced for me thus far. 

I'm almost hoping the next backlog game ISN'T available on the PC, just so I can get to some of the titles on my personal backlog list.  Such as actually resuming my NWN2 campaign.  I also haven't gotten around to Bionic Commando Rearmed either, but I blame that mostly on it not staring at me from the Steam client.  Get with it Capcom!  At least my PC runs everything fantastic when every other game I play is a couple years old (or more). 

Any other Giant bombers out there following the backlog segments in the 1upFM podcast?  Any other Giant bombers actually reading my sporadic blogposts?  Any other Giant bombers out there who ownded a big old 5.25 floppy disk with Burger Time?
