Metro 2033 PC Specs Released

The video game adaptation release of Dmitri Glukhovsky’s post-apocalyptic world, Metro 2033, is inching closer and closer. Just as the original novel aroused the imaginations of hundreds of thousands (dare I say millions) of readers worldwide, so too many find themselves lost in the beautifully destroyed world of Glukhovsky when the game hits consoles in late March. I’m still hoping to wrangle up an English translation of the original novel before the game hits stores to gain a deeper appreciation for the author’s original vision, but if what developers are saying is true, it doesn’t sound like any ounce of detail will be missing.

While I am personally looking forward to the 360 release, I’m sure many of you are getting excited about the PC version. In order for you PC users out there to get the most out of your wasteland experience, we wanted to pass along some specs that were recently released:
