This game literally has it all. It’s a first-person shooter with freakin’ magic!! Well, there is much more to the game. You can also use technology! Its 1337. OK, enough of me geeking out; let me discuss the game.

After hearing all of my fellow female gamers rant and rave about the game (PMS, you know who you are) I had to make a phone call so I could get it ASAP. I trust in my friends to have good gaming taste. So, when I got the game, I popped it into my 360 and got straight online right away. This was apparently a mistake because I rushed in without realizing that I had a lot of learning to do.

It’s not just about running and gunning. You have to know how to set your hot key, what the advantages and disadvantages of the weapons are, the role of technology, magic and especially how to play the character that you choose. While I stooopidly got online not knowing what I was doing, I proceeded to get my booty handed to me. After that, I got offline and entered the training mode. Once I got through the training mode and knew what I was doing, that’s when the game got fun. I played around with the combos of characters, magic and weapons and found a few favorites.

Psyche’s Shadowrun combos:

Character: Troll
Weapon: Miniguns/Shotgun
Tech: Smart Link
Magic: Tree of Life

Character: Elf
Weapon: SMG/Rifle/Katana
Magic: Smoke/Resurrect
Tech: Smart Link

I recommend playing with your friends, because its much more fun when you are all playing in sync, as opposed to playing in a room full of randoms (well, unless your Superman at the game and can carry a whole team, like Hobb3z).

What are your combos on Shadowrun?

Game on!
