Oleg Yavorsky, marknadschef på #GSC Game World, pratar om snart butiksaktuella #S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl på två sajter idag. På Computer and Video Games diskuteras bland annat uppdrag och multiplayer medan snacket på Gamespot berör artificiell intelligens och vilken funktion handdatorn har i spelet.

The PDA is a universal device to help stalkers in the zone. Each stalker in the game has a personal PDA that stores all the information and data collected by the character. There are a number of bookmarks you will find on your PDA in the game.

First, the PDA contains a map of the zone. As you keep exploring the areas, more details will be revealed on the map. The communication bookmark will reveal to you the current "online" contacts in the area. Next, the PDA stores all of your missions and tasks in the game and categorizes them as active, accomplished, or failed. Also, the PDA is your personal notepad and diary--you can check out the log of conversations you had with NPCs, and information about the zone and its inhabitants can also be discovered there. Last, consult your PDA to check out your standing against all the other stalkers in the zone. You will find your PDA very handy in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
