The launch trailer is an old and somewhat stodgy video games tradition but great things can still come of the genre, such as this fine one for 4A Games' shooter Metro 2033.

Based upon the novel by Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro 2033 explores above and below the ruined city of Moscow, deep in nuclear winter and inhabited by mutated horrors.

Metro 2033 hits PC and Xbox 360 today in North America, on Thursday in Europe. The PC edition boasts DirectX 11 support for smooth tessellation and depth of field effects.

  It seems pretty scalable based on what I can see of it - plus it will run on the 360 so there you go. ;) : wytefang

    It barely breaks 30 fps maxed on quad with 4+GB of RAM and 5870 @ 1680x1050. I'd say it's a disaster ... ... : anal justice

      I believe I'm breaking a better FPS than that with a GeForce 275 (that has 1792MB onboard) and a Core i5 ... : wytefang

      You can't run it truly maxed out because your video card lacks DX11 support.

      Right - but I can run it maxed for DX10 which is barely a step down from DX11, all things considered. : wytefang
      
      Man, what I meant was this game sucks way more resources in DX11 mode. Get it now? : anal justice

    Shit I love my GTS, this looks like the first game that may give it problems. I've had this for years tho... : ElArabDeMagnifico
    - GTS are underclocked cards. You mine as well spend the extra $50-100 to get the GT or GTX. : Desmond4231
