The big question... I know there's Shadowrun for PC and XBox 360. But besides the name, it ain't Shadowrun.
What's the most "Shadowrun"ish game for pc out there? |

Dues Ex comes to mind, the new one looks slick.

Though not very advanced in the graphics department, System Shock and System Shock 2 were pretty good. Not terribly close to Shadowrun. But how many games will you find out there where a man who believes he's a knight of the cross, an ex-spec ops stripper ninja and a ten foot tall monstrous troll with a pungent for stealing organs can work together to steal the pepsi-cola formula?

Syndicate. Old as hell, but otherwise pretty much perfect.

Dreamweb.
Blood Net. Neuromancer. Syndicate. Omikron: the nomad soul. Blade Runner pc game. Deus Ex 1. P.S: dont forget the old SNES and Sega Genesis Shadowrun rpgs. Both great games, and much better for capturing the SR vibe than the cited above. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

With the proper mods, Fallout: New Vegas is making some decent inroads to the cyberware side.

"You sell plants?"
"No, I sell IMPLANTS. I suggest the Intelligence one to start with." |

As mentioned, Deus Ex (God, there are some AWESOME mods for that now) & Syndicate (If you can find a system that it'll run with)
And grap a SNES emulator and fire up Shadowrun, I spent a few weeks playing and replaying that sucker, trying hard to earn enough cash to be upgrade the warez to be "King of the Pit" - why those mages were in the junkyard, I have no idea.... And what other SR edition allows wired reflexes and 6 magic? Magic->Cast "Freeze" (Hint, you'll need to get rid of that incubus in the warehouse first) Shoot Loot. Repeat And frankly, having an all-sammy team worked out much better than mana-hungry mages. As soon as you froze a target, everyone unloaded into it. -Stupid troll kept getting shot... -Stupid Street Doc, "Whoops" my ass. Gotta load up Deus Ex again, dammit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) -Tir. |

Just so it is abundantly clear:
Deus Ex (first one for sure: implants, multiple possible ways to solve a problem, specialization, point buy, conspiracy) System Shock 2 (Psi-ops is kinda magic, multiple possible ways to solve a problem, specialization, implants, point buy) Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines (point buy system, specialization, magic, and a few different paths, conspiracy) That's off the top of my head, there are probably a few others. |

Alpha Protocol, but that's more solo/spy stuff.
