As I said on FB. Metro: 2033 with the lights out late at night. You won't be sorry!

Ahhh, okay then!

I know Steam has the STALKER games on sale (or did) for under $10 each right now. The original "Shadow of Chernobyl" modded with the "Complete 2009" mod is simply awesome.

I bought both of the sequels, downloaded them, and made it about 20 minutes into each. They just didn't do it for me the way that STALKER did. Oddly enough, I think STALKER is one of those rare games that could benefit from a console port-it could do with some simplification and some bug refinement.

If you haven't used the "Complete 2009" mod for the original STALKER, you need to. It fixes most of the bugs, and good god does it get really, really scary. Some nights, you'll start hearing weird sounds over your radio, see odd lights in the sky, have sudden unexplicable blow-outs with tons of mutants and zombies swarming previously "cleared" areas. It's just damned good.

S:CoP was better than Clearsky imho. I didn't make it far into S:CS before I lost interest. I'll have to run the Complete mod on it and give it a try though. The physics and everything were just too different from S:SoC for me to get right into it. S:CoP was much more true to the S:SoC experience, but with more freedom to explore, and more uniformity to the anomalies instead of them being seemingly scattered around the zone.

Once you get past Zaton (the beginning area) Call of Pripyat gets much, much darker, more tense, and scarier.

As for Metro. You've got to remember that it was rushed production 'on the cheap' Metro: Lastlight is proving to be much, much better, which is saying something given the atmosphere of the first one.
