Post-apocalyptic first-person-shooter Metro 2033, launches today for the Xbox 360 and PC.

The game is based on a book by Russian author Dmitri Glukhovsky about a world in which pockets of humanity cling to life in the Russian Metro system, scavenging for survival.  A new breed of humans adapted to radiation, known as the Dark Ones, now roam the land and along with a variety of mutated creatures, threaten the survival of those remaining in the Metro.

Reviews have been fantastic, with 8s and 9s being given by many gaming journalists.  Personally, I can’t wait to get my copy home!
