So I thought I'd post this here incase any of you guys have not heard about this game.
Metro 2033 is a game produced by 4A [The guys who made the STALKER series, but this game has been polished to try to get rid of bugs that were so ominous in STALKER] set in a post-apocolyptic Moscow. Here is the Wiki overview:
GameZone was able to give a preview of the game, saying even though the game lacks a multiplayer component, the developers tried to deliver a very strong narrative.
The game will take place in post-apocalyptic Moscow, mostly inside the metro system, but, occasionally, the player will go topside to scavenge for valuables. The enemies that the player will be facing range from human renegades to giant mutated rat-demons. The guns in the game usually consist of makeshift weapons that are usually two weapons put together, and the ammo supply seemed to be scarce, forcing the player to conserve it and use it wisely. Making matters even more tough, the bullets are the currency you use in the game (meaning it is entirely possible for players to buy a new gun but have no ammo to use it).
The game is essentially HUD-less, relying on blood spatters to show how much damage was done to the player, and a gas mask must be worn when reaching the top soil when moving to a different area. There is no on screen indicator to tell how long the player has until the gas mask's filters begin to fail, so players must set a wrist watch, and continue to check it every time they wish to know how long they have. Due to the HUD-less screen players must check a map whenever they need to check their heading, during which they can still be attacked. Dakota Grabowski was also able to sit down with Luis Giglotti who describes the game and how it relates to the book, and also gives descriptions of the "Dark Ones" who are one of the key enemies in the game who attack you psychically. He also talks about the players character being "unique" by being immune to the Dark Ones. The player will also have visions that will give some back story and some of them will be playable

Sounds fun, especially if you enjoyed the Stalker series [I certainly did].
