 		Heard of Metro 2033 before? You probably have, but I thought you'd be interesting in seeing this gameplay. The video isn't great in terms of quality, but it shows off some interesting things. Seems very horror related to me!

 		I agree with ya there. Unfortunately lately I have been gaming less and less so even a highly anticipated game for me doesn't receive the attention it deserves especially at night time when I tend to roam about the most.

Fragile is pretty much what I expected it to be. Lot's of delicious atmosphere and some rather....eh gameplay. The combat has been bitched about to death but my major gripe about it is the lack of a lock on or dodge move. The controls are a bit twitchy too since you point the Wiimote at the screen and move the camera like a Wii FPS. While I like those controls in most other games it just feels sorta weird for me in this game.

Also the menu and inventory management is a bit more clunkier than it should have to be. It seems as though while taking advantage of the IR controls, Wiimote speaker, and rumble rather well they forgot that the Wiimote has more than two buttons and a d-pad.

But as I said so far the atmosphere and everything is damn great and I am enjoying the story so far a lot as I really think it accomplishes it's goal of making you feel alone. I am still a bit confused as to whether or not some items you find that give you a short story about other people's memories (sort of like the dreams in Lost Odyssey) have multiple installments as right now I tend to find fragments of them and they don't make much sense by themselves.

 		My advice on X-Files: Play as Scully.

I made the mistake of picking Mulder and, while 95% of the game is at least decent, the final boss for him is an absolute nightmare. I've got a save file at the very end that I just can't beat. Apparently Scully is easier.
