Not sure if this is the right thread for this post or not.....modders should move it if necessary.

I'm writing to bring to everyone's attention the new Shadowrun video game that Microsoft is publishing as a supposed flagship game for the X-Box 360 and Windows Vista.

Check it out at http://www.shadowrun.com

Prepare yourself though.....its not gonna be what yer expecting.

From what I've gathered, the game, even though it bears the Shadowrun lable, will actually have nothing to do with the rich history and lore that permiates our beloved RPG. Its also a repetative squad based FPS game, instead of the rich Deus Ex'esque RPG we have all been hoping for.

I'm curious about eveyone's impressions and what they think. If you are disappointed or upset, please take time to register and voice your concerns here:
