We have here for you a minute long cinematic trailer of GSC Game World's S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. In this video are some real-life as well as ingame footage. Actually, this video focuses more on the trailer Creating the Zone.

If you wanna check out a ghost town, then this place definitely should rank among the top of your list. From empty carnivals to desolate buildings, the past of Chernobyl certainly still rings an eerie tune to those stepping into it. Yep, with mutant creatures crawling about (believed to be transformed by the busted reactor), this surely is no playground. Although, there sure are some good finds or artifacts that hold some cryptic, anomalous energy.

Go on, be a stalker.
