One of the many interesting and new titles at Microsoft’s press conference today was Shadowrun, a game which many of us recall fondly as an RPG on the Genesis. While they only showed a pre-rendered trailer during the conference, we were able to get a closer look at it shortly after, at a post-event event across the street at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood. Shadowrun is slated for release in January alongside Windows Vista, and it will be one of the titles you can use with Live Anywhere to play against gamers who bought the 360 version.

Shadowrun was one of my favorite games on the Sega Genesis and so far this PC and 360 update looks like a winner. You can read more at IGN and view some screenshots and videos of it here.
