Are these games any good? I've been wanting to play a shooter type game lately and am into the whole survival horror/urban exploration theme.

Theme is good, graphics too, controls are iffy, I played the first game and I liked it, but still left me kinda 'meh'
What's wrong with the controls?

Not sure, it just felt hard to aim compared to other shooters, IIRC

Because they were (claiming to be) using real ballistics?

No, it was simply annoying, and it was not because the (quite lacking) need to count with trajectory.
Stalker games? Practice makes perfect, eh Cal? ^_^

Don't worry, Jaron is drunkposting again, drawing inspiration from Siege.
The only person I stalk around here is Ed, and that's only because I like to provoke the posting of random pictures of cats in mildly amusing poses.

I played through the first one in summer, it is really quite awesome.
I can't remember much in the way of control issues.

I bought STALKER Chernobyl for $5 on the Direct2Drive sale the other day, haven't tried it yet though.
Gives an unrealistic image of the effects of ionizing radiation.

I got a harness with the intention of trying to walk the cat and ended up with the same results.

I'd recomend it. I got the impression weapons were a bit underpowered. Normally it takes a few AK rounds to bring someone down, if I remember right.
I hate having to walk back to the base every hour or so... why don't we have auto travel?

That would be nice, yes. In Oblivion, you at least get some skills in athletics and acrobatics running and jumping all the way back to town... :D
The first game has a superb atmosphere and is absolutely worth buying for that, despite being a bit ropey in other ways. You will get some survival horror out of it, and a little urban exploration in one of the levels.
