Shadowrun is a first-person shooter video game, developed by FASA Studio for Xbox 360 and Windows Vista.

Armed with an artifact from ancient times, the research team sought to channel and control the magical energies they were exploring.

Deflecting blame for the incident to an Ork paramilitary organization, RNA retreated from the city while rethinking their strategy.

Vowing to keep the peace and clean up Santos, RNA's first actions were to enact martial law and declare a curfew for all citizens.

The resistance was helped greatly by the leadership of the Chancela family, who were dedicated to defending the ziggurat and recovering the artifact.

The battle between these two sides has grown to great proportions as of 2031, as the struggle for the artifact continues between RNA Global forces and The Lineage.

Three video games based on the Shadowrun universe were created throughout the 1990s: one for the SNES, one for the Sega Genesis, and one other for the Mega-CD (released only in Japan).

FASA Studio's Bill Fulton later revealed the campaign mode was cut due to "resource constraints" and the "quality over quantity" focus of development.

[15] Vicious Sid of GamePro said of the Xbox 360 version, "For $30 or $40, Shadowrun would be a worthwhile online shooter, even if it is a little rough around the edges.

As it stands, it's hard to make a glowing recommendation about a $60 game that includes virtually no offline mode, lacks variety in its weapons and match types, and suffers from rookie blunders in terms of presentation and interface.

On June 22, 2007, FASA Studio head Mitch Gitelman provided an in-depth 40 minute interview, on the podcast KOXM, regarding the game and its critical reviews.

[33] Upon release Shadowrun debuted as the sixth highest selling game out of 40 titles for the week ending June 2, 2007, in the United Kingdom.
