S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Pripyat by Graeme Strachan | 12-03-10

PC

Review

It's not easy being a Stalker.

The first thing a reader should know is that this review has been written under protest. No joy was derived from the playing, singing and writing of it. Not because of the quality of the game, but simply the reviewer's personal opinion of the band in question. You see, the Singstar genre can be likened unto no other creature, with new versions cropping up every other month to provide the unsatiated with a karaoke version of their particular brand of musical preference that they can warble along with.
