Watch Two Awesome METRO: LAST LIGHT Gameplay Trailers

Behold the bleak beauty of 4A Games and THQ's post-apocolyptic sequel...

Based on a novel by presumably quite grim Russian author, Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro 2033 was a bleak but oddly beautiful shooter set in post-apocalyptic Moscow where we follow a gang of survivors have taken refuge within the underground system, and in March 2012 Ukrainian-based 4A Games will release the follow-up. That original wasn't perfect, but it looked incredible, and from the videos below, taken from a PC, that looks to have continued into the sequel. The promise for this sequel is that 4A have gone back to the drawing board for certain elements, including gameplay and weaponry effects to atone for some of the sins of the original, which is damn good news in my book. And today, thanks to distributors THQ we have the game's Prologue trailer as well as the first part of a trilogy of E3 Gameplay Trailers, which you can supposedly only view by liking the games official Facebook page - though it's just posted below perfectly well without it. Still, like the page, because once you view the trailer, you're going to want to keep in touch with what news they have of the game's release. First up, the Prologue... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uETjtLogTSM And next, a bit more gameplay... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvhxaKQSMUE Metro: Last Light is slated for release in March 2012 for the PC, XBox360 and the PS3. On the strength of what I've seen so far, and if you have the high-end PC capabilities to run it to full potential, I'd say take that opportunity over the console route.
