Enemies in Metro 2033 can be pretty relentless at times. You'll face various types of mutant creatures, well armed humans and some of the supernatural variety which I wouldn't like to spoil here. At various points the game encourages stealth...

Metro 2033 is a competent survival shooter with some stout hardware requirements. With all of the high-end graphics features enabled, you will need a seriously powerful video card to play at a high resolution. The Radeon HD 5870 can do it right now,...

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was an interesting game, because it was so poorly coded. In fact it was nearly unplayable without the community that modded and supported it past release. Even I tried to play it on a modern-age gaming PC and found that the game...
