While a handful of people have voiced out their anticipation over S.T.A.L.K.E.R., another game of similar genre is also in the works. From Buka Entertainment, Collapse is like a hybrid of Tomb Raider, Gears of War, and, umm, Prince of Persia. You've got the acrobatics and lithe movements, the freaky creatures and sudden emergence, and the cloak-and-dagger gameplay.

This game will pit you in the middle of an alternate future: Year 2096AD. At that time, everything you know  has already been destroyed by creatures from another dimension. Sounds a bit too familiar? Post-apocalyptic settings have to start some place, and parallel dimensions are just about a good a start as any other. One surprising factor is that, while total chaos reigns and humans struggle to survive, an elite order called The Lords stands as the only strong arm to prevent total annihilation.
