Shadowrun Preview - Xbox 360Shadowrun is a game at the cutting edge of the new cross-platform, multiplayer generation of games. It'll be playable online on both Xbox 360 and PC via Xbox Live and Windows Vista's Games for Windows Live respectively - so you can sit at your Xbox 360 and play against your mate on his PC. Based on an established offline role-playing game, Shadowrun is more first-person shooter in its digital incarnation and can be played by up to 16 people in two teams at any one time. So, is it going to be any good? We've had a chance to get our hands on it and have a good nosey around, and we reveal all in our huge Shadowrun preview.
