Is it wrong that I'm intrigued by this?

After a recent trailer for Metro 2033: The Last Refuge was unveiled, many games journalists were quick to announce just how much they didn't care about it. I however, would like to state that this game has my interest piqued. Whilst I'm under no illusion that Metro 2033 won't be a must-have title, I do think that it has potential, and I'm definitely intrigued.

Based on the novel of the same title, written by Dmitry Glukhovsky, I first heard about this game through UK Xbox magazine, XboxWorld360, about a year ago, and I thought that blending elements of Fallout 3 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and setting it against the backdrop of the cavernous, maze-like subway system of post-apocalyptic Russia, was a great idea.

As well as this, developers 4A Games have also just announced that the game will ship with the option to play the game entirely in Russian (with English subtitles), and I can't help but feel that they are putting more thought and effort into this game than most people are giving them credit for.

Metro 2033 is set to release in March, and, provided it doesn't get terrible review scores, I'm looking forward to putting this on my rental queue, and checking it out after the Q1 deluge of games eases up.  Check out the trailer below and feel free to let me know if you agree, or whether you think I'm just crazy.

Я согласен. Похоже, это будет интересно. Идея использования только русский язык является замечательным.

In other words, let's do this.

That actually looks pretty awesome. But isn't 2033 a little to recent? That only leaves us 23 years to go through the apocalypse, move underground, and discover horrible beasts. I don't see that happening for at least 50 years.
