    Hey guys,

    Hopefully there will be no issues giving this key away. But through some Nvidia thing on Facebook I got instructions and a key for Metro 2033 :D

    I already have Metro 2033 so if you really want to play it, enter the draw by posting a reply and I'll try announce who gets it by tomorrow :p

    (Hopefully it'll work for whoever I give it to) Does anyone know a website or something I could do it on or will I have to manually write down names and put em in a jar xD


    Merry Christmas and happy holidays,
    Leo :)

    Thanks matthab :)

    What's your spec and ETA?

    Btw to anyone who sees this I think the last chance to redeem the free Metro 2033 is sometime on the 24th, I'm not sure when.. and due to the time difference I might be handing out the key tonight in a few hours just to be on the safe side :p so last chance to post something

    Consider my hat in the ring. Although, if there's anyone with a new rig who wants to try a demanding game, i'd like to see it go to them. :)

    Thank you for posting this. You, sir, are a champ.

    Well looks like not a lot of people wanted Metro 2033 for free ! :p

    Due to there only being 2 people in the draw, I ran it a few times and the winner is:
