Done!
Already have it, and still can't bring myself to invest more than the 30 minutes already put into it. Zombies - meh!

Not bad, just getting started in it. I liked CC: Red Alert back in the day, but got away from the genre after that. This certainly has that feel on a much bigger scale. So far, so good.
Aww, I missed the Orange Box sale? I never saw it. Today is a friend's birthday and that would have been perfect.
GamersGate's got some awesome deals going on. Plus if you buy four games, the cheapest one is free. I won't list all of them, but there are some goodies like Devil May Cry 4, Arkham Asylum, and King Arthur for around $10. Some older goodies like Medieval 2: Total War and Deus Ex + Invisible War for $5. Don't forget to make separate purchases if you're buying more than four so that your freebie is as expensive as possible.
Metro 2033 is very much an Eastern European game. It's more linear, and, partially due to that, it has a shallower learning curve than the Stalker games. But the gameplay is dated, and sometimes frustratingly unfair. There is no way to test a "better" weapon before buying it, which resulted in a few situations where the "better" gun did too little damage and burned through my ammo too quickly. A lot of that is luck. I guess the unexplored weapons have replay value, but the AK-47, which you get early on, is one of the best I could find. The atmosphere is solid, and the story kept me interested. The very end of the game does some awesome narrative stuff that wouldn't have as much impact in other mediums (even though it was a book first), but I know some people who would probably dislike the ending for the same reasons I liked it.
I borrowed the console version of the game from a friend, and probably wouldn't have bought it unless it was $5 - $7.50 USD.
L4D2 is probably the best $5 I've spent, though it is getting repetitive after only 2 or so hours of play.
Hard to find a public server where people don't leave in the middle of the game either. =/
And the server browser is so basic it doesn't even tell you ping or # of players in game? Seriously?

The trend in server browsing lately is one I don't understand. Less and less games show you information about the servers listed, and that's not even getting into matchmaking type stuff where you have no control over what to join in the first place.
I've heard it's to make it more user friendly (in the same way that you can't adjust mouse sensitivity in a lot of games lately, including mass effect 2), but I don't see how a little number at the end of a server entry will confuse even the most casual user to such a degree that it's detrimental to his enjoyment of the game.

I found it to be a very enjoyable and immersive experience. It does a good job of making you feel like a lonely scavenger. While the combat is very familiar with most other games, the way it is designed makes you have to act smart and choose your battles wisely...your enemies will rush, flank, and try to flush you out. The game actually has a reason for why people don't die from one bullet (people living in the tunnels manufacture their own crappy bullets...old, well made bullets from before the nuke holocaust are hard to come by and are used as currency...unless you are in a desperate fight and need to use them for your gun.)
While the story is based on a book, the way it flows is a little similar to Deus Ex. You can either sneak through enemy positions, silently take them down (destroying light and energy sources to aid you), or simply shooting places up. The decisions you make over the game will determine the 'good' or the 'bad' (whether they are good or bad is up to you) ending.
I would say it is a good mix of FEAR and DOOM 3.
Just a shame there wasn't a demo :/
And as for L4D2... main thing that interests me are the melee weapons and custom models (right?) buuuut in all honesty.. those should have been L4D features.

This is true for about the first 3/5ths of the game. Once you get to the librarians and amoebas, stealth is impossible, and you'd better be heavily armed. Those are the levels that bothered me most. The first 3/5ths made for enjoyable, slow-paced / stealth gameplay.
L4D2 is only second to Killing Floor when it comes to rage quitters. Quite hilarious
RAWR should have been an expansion RAWwerrwerwr
True. I never managed to sneak passed the librarians...running frantically ended up a better solution. Although when running through tiny cracks only to turn around and see the librarian tumbling through was frightful and is possible one of the few sequences I have played running away from a monster in a confined space that was not scripted.
I will say that one part with the amoebas, or pupae anomalies, took me about twenty tries to get through. That one hallway really pissed me off.

Viva Pinata for .99.

No, not saying that really. It's just a shame that these things weren't part of the retail game.

Wow, game isn't even 6months old and it's being sold for $.99?
[Edit]Looking around, I guess I can see why, it seemed to average about 6.5/10 from reviews, not counting the 3/10 Destructoid gave it
