After a delay of a few hours and some very frustrating download errors, I finally got my grubby mits on the Shadowrun demo. It grew on me like wildfire.

While there are aspects of the game that definitely seem like they could've used an extra month of development, the game is, as far as I can tell, a very fun game to play. I went and immediately bought the game off Amazon.co.uk. I'm constantly thinking up new strategies and ways to use spells for better effects and it's something I intend to be playing a lot this summer!

There's a lot of bad blood on the forum(s) and general internet about Gamespot's review, with many noting that according to the achievements, Jeff didn't even play all the maps or win a game with every class... I guess at the end of the day, Jeff just didn't like what they'd done with the Shadowrun license or wasn't a fan of the game. I URGE people to try the demo and decide for themselves, because personally the game has a lot to offer. He was totally right about the ladder animation though... That's stupid.

My copy comes sometime soon, and a few days after I've got it, I'll post my own review up on Gamespot. Until then, look for me online, gusting your grenades back at you.
