"So the big release season is just beginning, and those of you with deep wallets are rushing around pre-ordering every top game before each emerges onto store shelves.
"But what about those who can only afford maybe one or two new releases, or maybe none at all yet? There’s a global economic slowdown on after all.
"Well at OXCGN we’ve decided to put ourselves in the game Animus and go back in time to discover what titles we enjoyed this gen that you should be able to get for cheap (and..."
"Andy hosts this week as Pat fulfills his wanderlust. David talks of his Homefront experience and he finally checks out Braid. Andy gives his initial impressions of the Nintendo 3DS and Pilotwings Resort, the Mortal Kombat demo, the Jill & Shuma-Gorath DLC for Marvel vs Capcom 3, and complains about some old PC games. Then Nick talks about his Metro 2033 play through.
We talk about games affected by the disaster in Japan, crumbling consumer confidence in the ability for digital games di..."
"This week the absence of David does not shake BonusEXP's foundations. ZombiePie from the Giant Bomb community joins Pat and Andy this episode.
A mountain of games are discussed as usual, including but not limited to: Mafia 2, Shank, Metro 2033 PC demo, Halo 3 and Quake 1 multiplayer, Saint's Row 2, and Battlefield Bad Company. Your experience may vary. Gaming news is also discussed, as well as Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (the movie)."
"THQ announced that Metro 2033 will have a sequel. It is currently in development and will be in3D. This sequel will be entitled Metro 2034.
The sequel will also be based on a Dmitry Glukhovsky novel (such as the first game) so we can have a nice idea of the storyline reading the review of the book (here)."
The ‘Ranger Pack’ will feature new weapons, new achievements and the deadly ‘Ranger Mode’ game rules. No release date or price were confirmed for the moment but the article precise the first details to know about the DLC.
"FoxyKazoo "Speaking of when it's done, apparently, Starcraft II is coming out"
Joystick "ON my birthday!"
FoxyKazoo "You know you just told the Internet about your birthday, you won't tell work about your birthday, but you told the Internet"
Joystick "Pfft! The Internet, I'm not too worried about that.""
"This week we discuss MLB.tv coming to PS3, Metroid Other M delay, Natal test kit out in the wild and Marvel vs Capcom 3 announcement. For what we have been playing its Lost Planet 2, Metro 2033 and Just Cause 2."
All Age Gaming's Ian Crane delves into the Russian metro in this post apocalyptic first person survival, horror game developed by 4A Games and published by THQ. Has Metro 2033 got a place amongst the abundance of AAA games that have hit the shelves this year? Read on to find out.
"Post-apocalyptic settings in games are nothing new these days, with the likes of the Fallout series leading the way. However, it’s not often you’ll see a post-nuclear Russia, toiled in ecological and ideological conflict. Metro 2033 enters the field and brings some interesting gameplay ideas and a compelling setting."
"When you get right down to it, the gameplay is actually fairly generic and certainly linear, but it’s executed in such a wonderful, immersive environment that you won’t really care because you want to see what’s coming around the next corner. I’d liken it to BioShock, it’s a shooter that has something to say outside it’s core mechanic. Both games seek to conjure a sense of awe from their environment, although where Bioshock does so with deep, rich colours, Metro 2033 presses on the player w..."
"The scenario of a global atomar war with million people dying and leaving the world behind completely destroyed is nothing new to us anymore with the release of games like Stalker or Fallout. With Metro 2033 its different. The game is based purely on a book by russian bestselling author Dmitry Glukhovsky, but is the game able to catch the athmosphere of the book? The games protagonist is Artjom, 20 years old and he has never seen the light of day. One day a man named Hunter appears in your un..."
"To get an understanding of Metro 2033 you’ll need to know the general synopsis: It’s a post-apocalyptic game set in the metro system of Moscow, Russia in 2033 (go figure). A nuclear war broke out approximately 20 years ago and you, as a child, were on the surface (read: not in the subway) for only your first few months of birth. The game starts off with a foreshadow scene that you will later come back to. You play as Artyom, and through that opening scene, about 25 minutes in length, your jou..."
"A society being rebuilt after the fallout of a nuclear war? Sounds familiar…
Metro 2033, developed by 4A Games and published by THQ is the newest first person shooter on the Xbox 360.
Adapted from a novel by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro 2033 throws you in to a world where a nuclear fallout has left Russia contaminated, and the survivors have been pushed underground into the Moscow subway.
Now they are in a desperate struggle to rebuild society fighting against 3 other rebe..."
Various Metro 2033 walkthrough videos are compiled together on one page by VGB. Helpful if you're looking for tips and tactics to finish the surprisingly awesome new survival-horror first-person shooter on the PC and Xbox 360.
A celebration of video games, giveaways, Billy Mitchell's hot sauce, and 100 episodes of Distributed Failure. The podcast has been going strong for over 2 years and this is the epic 100th episode with plenty of special guests and awesome prizes!
All Age Gaming's Phong Nguyen bring's us the 33rd AAG "The Week That Was". This week he discusses the Playstation "Move", a possible slim 360, the 360's external hard drive support, PS3 shortages due to the release of God Of War 3 and more.
"Going into Metro 2033, I wasn’t entirely convinced that we needed another post-apocalyptic shooter following a single man who becomes the savior of earth, but I was pleasantly surprised as I reached the jarring conclusion of Metro. Metro 2033 follows the travels of Artyom, a citizen of the underground complex of Metro tunnels after the surface of Moscow has frozen over. The atmosphere and setting of the game are what really deserve attention as 4A Games have crafted a very startling and unfor..."
"The year is now 2033. An entire generation has been born and raised underground, and their besieged Metro Station-Cities struggle for survival, with each other, and the mutant horrors that await outside.
You are Artyom, born in the last days before the fire, but raised Underground. Having never ventured beyond your Metro Station-City limits, one fateful event sparks a desperate mission to the heart of the Metro system, to warn the remnants of mankind of a terrible impending threat. Your j..."
"So do you have what it takes to survive the perilous world of Metro 2033? The single-player affair is worthy of every FPS fanatics’ time since the 4A Games and THQ were able to put forth a wonderful tale that deserved telling. The world is engrossing as it invites players for multiple trips with the sheer amount of detail 4A Games spent implementing into the environments. Metro 2033 is as pure as they come in the genre and I gladly welcome any sequel that may reach fruition."
Xbox Evolved gives the first ten minutes of Metro 2033, the shooter/RPG/survial game from 4A Games and THQ which releases tomorrow in North America for the Xbox 360 and PC exclusively.
"In addition to this announcement, THQ has revealed that not only will the Games for Windows release include a free copy of 2009’s Red Faction: Guerrilla, but it will also benefit from 3D technology, powered by NVIDIA 3D Vision. Other advanced features such as DX11 and NVIDIA PhysX implementation are also set to be included."
"Following yesterday’s announcement of a special bonus set to be included with new retail copies of Metro 2033 and the trailer released this morning, THQ has today released an updated image of the cover art design. Metro 2033 is due for release on 19th March 2010 for both Xbox 360 and Games for Windows, though the special bonus is only available with the latter."
"THQ has this morning released a brand new trailer for the highly anticipated Metro 2033, showcasing a brand new side to the gameplay. Metro 2033 is due for release on Xbox 360 and Games for Windows on 19th March 2010, and as revealed yesterday, PC gamers are in for a special treat when purchasing the game at retail."
"To everyone’s surprise March 2010 is a month full of epic video game releases, because in the past the first quarter of the year is pretty slow in the industry. This is the result of many things the most important being the fact that money is tight after the jam-packed Holiday gaming season. 2010 is a year for change as there are plenty of high-quality games coming out in the first four months of the year, for that reason we decided to list out the top 5 video game releases of March 2010 – th..."
"This incredible bonus demonstrates THQ’s confidence in Metro 2033 as a product, with the PC release of Red Faction: Guerrilla arriving much later than it’s console counterparts, the publisher obviously believes that the incentive of bundling the game with Metro 2033 will prove more profitable than the continued sales of the game at a reduced price."
The upcoming spring season will be a great time for Xbox 360 gamers. This is especially true when it comes to great exclusives (console or otherwise) slated for release from March through May.
"February 19th, 2010 -- THQ and Valve today announced an agreement to power the PC version of 4A Games' Metro 2033 with a collection of Steamworks features and to offer the title electronically to the 25 million-plus gamers playing PC games via Steam."
Watch Tobin and Yuzo from NooBTooB preview all the games slated to come out between now and April.
Keep in mind they don't cover every game. Just those they deem will be either good or interesting.
"Our biggest concern with Metro 2033 was that there wasn’t enough ammo. Too many times Artyom would run out of ammunition. Once this happens, he’s forced to pull out his pocket knife that is the equivalent of a butter knife – enemies will fall after six or seven stabs, so be prepared to frustration when it comes to close range combat. With no melee button, Artyom is often left helpless as he battles dozens upon dozens of enemies."
"THQ invited the game media into their Sydney PR rooms recently in order to get their collective hands dirty on 4 of their newest titles due out over the next few months.
Arthur dealt with two games in an earlier Hands-On, Super Street Fighter IV and Lost Planet 2, my job here however is to take a long hard look at the two other titles THQ are publishing, and both in genre’s I prefer. That being, First Person Shooters and Racing genres.
The two titles in question are, Metro 2033 and Moto..."
"Set in the shattered subway of a post apocalyptic Moscow, Metro 2033 is a story of intensive underground survival where the fate of mankind rests in your hands. In 2013, the world was devastated by an apocalyptic event, annihilating almost all mankind and turning the earth’s surface into a poisonous wasteland. A handful of survivors took refuge in the depths of the Moscow underground, and human civilization entered a new Dark Age."
"This new trailer introduces players to the world of Metro 2033, a crumbling last stand of civilisation. Stepping into the shoes of Artyom, born in the last days before the fire, but raised Underground, players will journey from the forgotten catacombs beneath the subway to the desolate wastelands above, where your actions will determine the fate of mankind. Having never ventured beyond your Metro Station-City limits, players will struggle with a desperate mission to warn the remnants of manki..."
"In production at Ukrainian studio 4A Games, and built with the cutting-edge, proprietary 4A Game Engine, Metro 2033 is being developed for both Xbox 360 and Games for Windows. The release of the final packaging design reveals that the game, unsurprisingly, has been rated 18+ by PEGI (Pan European Game Information)."
"With the release date for THQ’s inspired Science-Fiction First-Person Shooter (FPS) rapidly approaching, the publisher has released a number of new screenshots taken from the game. Metro 2033 is a new FPS for Xbox 360 and PC based on the best-selling Russian novel of the same name by Dmitry Glukhovsky, and set for release within Q1 2010."
This is shaping up to an excellent game, and looking forward to getting some hands-on time with it via THQ in the not too distant future. This along with several new games scheduled for release on both the PC and 360 will definitely help 2010 be a great year for gaming.
Come check out the brand new video as well as new screens only released today
