    The Game Which Brought PC VS Consoles To Life.. But Failed.

    Shadowrun is using a new technology that MS call "Live Everywhere", many people are already familiar with xbox live, but live everywhere is the vista version of it. This is a nice idea combining to systems to play a fully online game. However there are some frustrating elements in Shadowrun.

    The graphics are think aren't stunning but look great, even though they reccomend a 5.0 rating I find it looks just as good on a 4.4 rating. ^^

It's a fun game but lacks some core features which I hope they fix in an update. ((Also I reccomend playing this game using a 360 controller you can buy a special modem which can use 360 tech on the PC))
