Tampa, typically I'd agree with you, but they're two totally different games in terms of gameplay. Metro is EXTREMELY linear (the only thing that changes is if you want to use stealth or not) whereas STALKER is open-world and has shops and more gear and a muuuuuuch longer play time. So it's unfair to compare the two.
