The bundle is on offer for US$9.99, which equates to &plusmn;R75 &#8211; a definite bargain, available until 23 August 2010. <\/p>\n<p>The original title in the series, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, is set in the radiation ravaged lands surrounding the Chernobyl Nuclear Power station, which catastrophically failed in 1986, causing one of the world&rsquo;s worst nuclear disasters. The game is set in 2012, after a second explosion ravaged the lands. From the epicenter of this explosion, horrendously deformed mutant creatures begin to stalk the lands. The land is a lawless place, in which scavengers, bounty hunters, criminals and adventurers struggle to survive. Gamers will take on the role of just such an adventurer. The gameplay can be described as a survival FPS.<\/p>\n<p>S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat returns gamers to the lands around Chernobyl for another adventure.
