GDC: Shadowrun pits PC against Xbox 360

FPS fans finally get their chance to settle it: keyboard and mouse versus controller.

Microsoft says Shadowrun, its version of the RPG and pen and paper classic by FASA, is on track for release in late 2007, sort of--no specific date is available at this time. But what is clear is that this version will veer from its lineage to mimic Counter-Strike in many ways, including being a multiplayer FPS with no single player campaign. Moreover, Xbox 360 and PC gamers will be able to engage in joint gunfights for the first time.
