I have said this before and I'll say it again: I love how so many games are pushing the post-apocalyptic setting these days. Metro 2033 takes it one step further by throwing in the element of a harsh Russian winter, rather than opting for the dull shades of brown found in most other games.
To accompany some previews of the game from outlets other than us, quite a few new screenshots have made themselves available. I figured they'd be worth sharing regardless, so enjoy!
It's disappointing that we haven't really seen much of the mutants yet -- if you look closely, you can see some in these pictures. Kind of. I get the feeling Metro 2033 will be enjoyed by many for its fairly unique setting, but will ultimately be hurt by technical issues.
Then, a bunch of dedicated modders will swoop in, clean things up, and there will be much rejoicing.

Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

I'm sold already. Those are my favorite things all in one package!
Just like STALKER, then. Which, after the cleanup, is one of the best shooter-RPGs around.
