Voodoo Extreme a well-known web-site named the winners of ""Best of E3 2008" awards. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky was awarded "Best Graphics".

Clear Sky's technological feature set is extremely impressive as well and the demo looked absolutely fabulous.

Also S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky became one of the finalists in the "IGN's PC Best of E3 2008 Awards" in nomination "Best First-Person Shooter".

That's a sign of just how far the FPS genre has evolved from its days of narrowly linear, highly-scripted gameplay.
