Giveaway: Metro 2033

As a personal favorite game of mine and winner of the previous poll, this giveaway features Metro 2033, a great game that makes the best of systems sweat...



To enter: Post why this game interests you (or why you haven't picked it up yet )

Requirements: TPU join date of May 2012 or earlier, post count of 30, and must not own the game. I will send a friend invite via Steam to the winner and send it via Steam. Past winners (of my giveaways) will not be entered, sorry

Added Special: 2 winners will be selected in this giveaway: 1 will be sent the game via Steam and 1 will be sent a Steam-activatable key. (I just realized I had an extra Steam key from Amazon )

Important: After the winners are announced and PM'd, they have 48hrs to get in contact with me. If I do not receive a PM in return or contact of any kind within the 48hrs, I will do a redrawing and a new winner will be selected.

Winner selected: Thursday 1pm EST (this was corrected from Friday, my bad)

Awesome Winners


I didn't last time, so I want to take this time to thank theonedub for this generous spirit which has inspired many tpu'ers to show the "Pay It Forward" attitude.

I'd like the game because I've never played it and want to see how hard it pushes my hardware (FX-8150 w/HD7850)

Last new PC title I bought was Crysis! Seriously lol

Finally upgrading to a new rig and this seems like an awesome title to punish it with I heard it is a well rounded game incorporating many of the elements which make for a good title such as GFX, story, mechanics, etc...

Thnx for running a give away

Definitely Alice. I had a lot of fun with that game and I think a lot more people have Fallout but don't have Alice. The other I don't know anything about.

Anyways, I've already got Metro, so not entering this time, plus I don't think I'm eligible now? Good luck to everybody else.

Yes, you are still eligible. You won what I called:
Quote:
Free bonus
meaning its not held against you since it was a freebie.

So if anyone gets a freebie game at the end, that one can still enter another giveaway. Only the ones in the OP spoiler tags aren't eligible.....

A FYI to everyone: Metro 2033 is not that taxing (just a little on the heavy side) when in Direct3D 10 mode and AAA (especially if the latter is put on "performance" in the driver settings).

Edit: I don't participate of course because I already posess the game.

Updated OP. I was looking through my account and noticed I had a Metro 2033 from the Amazon sale:

This means that there will be 2 winners this round, both chosen randomly. The 1st will be sent the game directly in Steam, and the 2nd will be sent a key that activates on Steam.
