Metro 2033 is a double-hard bastard

Based on the novel by Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro 2033 is a first-person shooter set in the Russian Metro after a nuclear holocaust has made the surface of the planet uninhabitable. I'm not big on first-person shooters -- I'm a lover, not a fighter -- but the subject matter of Metro appealed to me so I gave the game a go. Sadly the game proved to be -- for me, at least -- almost comically challenging. →
