PC - Shadowrun - Microsoft Updates GFW - Live Client With all the attention being paid to the vaunted New Xbox Experience interface that will launch later this month for the Xbox 360, Microsoft quietly updated the Games for Windows - Live client today. The update doesn't introduce any new functionality--that is planned later on with the release of a desktop client as well as the Games for Windows - Live Marketplace. However, the update does give the GFW - Live client a whole new look that's better suited for PCs...

Jan 4, 2008 The Shadowrun forums are due to be closed in the next few weeks but there's hope of further products from the brand emerging in the future. Shadowrun developer FASA recently closed its doors to the public, presumably after the damp reception the 360 and PC game received. If you remember it was the first game for 360 and PC that allowed cross-platform gaming between both parties. You may also remember that we scored it 6/10. A post on the Shadowrun forums reads: "We're going to be ... » Read More

PC - Shadowrun - Shadowrun gets a much-needed patch Though it was the subject of much debate, Shadowrun remains one of the titles on the 360 that Ars Technica quite enjoyed-even if it isn't the best value in the world. Those among us who decided to ignore the content qualms and license-use to enjoy the game itself, however, have been privy to some other issues that have cropped up since early after release. Long waits for matchmaking, broken achievements, and dumb bots were but a few of the problems that revealed themselves over extended playtime.

PC - Shadowrun - Rooster Teeth Concludes Shadowrun 1-800-MAGIC Series All good things must come to an end, and today the final episode of Rooster Teeth's 1-800-MAGIC series, based on "Shadowrun," will be released.

The four part series follows an unfortunate Shadowrunner as he discovers magic, which has returned to the world in "Shadowrun." In the previous three episodes of the 1-800-MAGIC informational videos, our favorite Shadowrunner struggles through insurmountable odds and an uncontrollable use of magic. Compounded by the unhelpful 1-800-MAGIC help line and disobliging teammates, the Shadowrunner is finally provided with some thoughtful guidance to control his unique powers.

One thing you can say about Mitch Gitelman, head of FASA Studio and Shadowrun's daddy: He's forthright. So when he says "I think the reviews on my game suck ass and I want to respond" on this week's OXM Podcast to senior editors Ryan McCaffrey and Dan Amrich, that's the start of 45 minutes of pure honesty, and one of the more interesting conversations you're likely to hear this week. Addressing the criticisms that the game was scored while factoring in its price more than its execution or ... » Read More

PC - Shadowrun - Free PC Shadowrun with Halo 2 purchase. Already? While Frank and Ben Kuchera of Ars Technica are rather enamored with Shadowrun on the 360 and the PC, as a game it's a rather hard sell. The price is high for a multiplayer-only title, and of course it requires Vista to run. Same thing with Halo 2 on the PC: it's basically a older Xbox game that requires Vista for absolutely no reason and shows that Live on Windows still has quite a ways to go before it's a killer-app. Clearly these games aren't worth $50 apiece. Luckily, Circuit City has you covered: buy Halo 2 on the PC for $40, get Shadowrun free. It's like only being charged $20 for each game and, if you have Vista, that's a helluva deal.

He is not sure what such an aggressive sale says about the earning potential of these two games, but if you were interested in either of them and were just waiting for the price to come down, today is your lucky day. Sure, they won't throw a copy of Vista in there to sweeten the deal, but it's still an inexpensive way to try out the games and the new Live service for PCs.

PC - Shadowrun - Halo 2 and Shadowrun (Un)Officially Coming to XP Upgrading to Windows Vista has been a broad leap for the few PC gamers out there who have made the jump. Unlike previous Microsoft software releases the feature set of their latest OS just isn't that compelling.

Sure, you get to play all the latest Games for Windows Live titles, but there's so few of them. Add on to that the still shaky hardware performance and the Halo 2 Vista servers are looking pretty empty.

Clouds look to be clearing up though for those still hesitant to upgrade just to play Halo 2 or Shadowrun. Falling Leaf Systems, a company working to get rid of the barriers constraining many PC gamers have with playing Games for Windows titles, has announced that they will be working independently to get Shadowrun and Halo 2 to run on XP machines.

PC - Shadowrun - Shadowrun's Achievement List & New Screens While nobody can really say if PC gamers will embrace achivement points, it seems likely they will. Many already spend colossal amounts of time plugging away for experience points in MMOs, performing all sorts of strange tasks in order to get that one reagent to drop, or to level up that one weapon skill. Well, same deal with the achievement points. You do lots of weird stuff and get rewarded; pretty basic. Yet on the Xbox 360 the meta-game of achievement grinding roots itself deeper and deeper in X360 gamers' minds every day, spurring some to go out and buy King Kong and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles just because their achievements are so easy to unlock. It's a strange fascination since achievement points don't do anything. They just sit there, a public aggregate, a numerical representation of your dedication to gaming, or embarrassing reminder of how you spend your time.

Full achievement requirement details and new screens available.
