So that article was from 2009?

I liked it..looked it up and was fascinated. Such a cool find and I'd love to visit but I didn't like how the article started and ended.

there was a ps2 game loosely based on the Island I think and a bad film based on the game, I can't for the life of me remember the name though, even a quick google search tossed nothing up.

Just watched Chernobyl Diaries the other day. First half is good, but then it falls off. Anyway... the shots of the city near Chernobyl remind me a lot of this. The movie was good for that aspect at least.
