Microsoft announced today that they’ve shipped Shadowrun to retail. Shadowrun is the latest videogame adaptation of the popular pen and paper RPG. The innovative first-person shooter (FPS) gameplay of Shadowrun, developed by FASA Studio, thrusts gamers into strategic battles that utilize magic and technology. Players must vie for supremacy, playing as a human, elf, dwarf or troll. Cleverness, cunning and split-second improvisation are rewarded through a unique combination of modern weapons, ancient magic and advanced technology. As the first game to support Microsoft’s Games for Windows – LIVE service, “Shadowrun” gives players on both Xbox 360 and Windows Vista a chance to compete, cooperate and communicate across both platforms with an Xbox LIVE Gold or Games for Windows – LIVE Gold account.

The online only title will be available for Xbox 360 for a price of $59.99 and Windows Vista for $49.99.
