Amazing games. Im not much of a book-guy, but I [b][i]reeaaalllyy[/i][/b] want to read the Metro books. One thing I love about it, is how descriptive certain parts of the story can be. You will find people who at a glance, just seem like background noise, but if you listen carefully, you can catch conversations that bring the game to life. Sorry for minor spoilers, but there was one conversation between a girl and her father while the father is fishing. The girl is worried about catching cancer instead of fish because her mother died of cancer. The father then mentions something about being able to cleanse the fish of radiation now, or they can at least tell when a fish is too irradiated to eat. Sad little story that you can very easily miss. Only tip I can give is to take the game slow. Theres nothing but the story, so dont rush it. Make sure to look around lots to find ammo, health, and easter egg type things. Make sure to follow the story closely; its really good, but slightly confusing at some points.
