When did Overlord go up as it wasn' t up last night, I am really impressed with Shadowrun though, shame it has been given such a bad rap.

I agree. I downloaded the Shadowrun demo yesterday, and I have to say that I have been having a lot of fun playing it online. Gameplay is solid, controls are good, and I like the powers and abilites they give you as well. I also like the fact that at the beginning of each round you can spend your cash to either purchase Magic, Tech, or Weapons.

Graphically this game reminds me a lot of Crackdown for some reason.

I DL-ed Shadowrun this morning, haven' t had a chance to play it yet though. I totally missed Overlord though, I' ve never even heard of it to tell the truth.

Both demos were pretty fun but I still cant quite form a solid opinion. I' ll probably just rent them.

I downloaded the Shadowrun demo and well its good but not great. I like the magic aspect of it but the game just feels very ordinary. Its not as bad as some reviews say it is though. I definitely wouldn' t pick it over Gears and GRAW 2 online.

Shadowrun' s training levels are driving me insane, and I haven' t downloaded Overlord yet.

I know, the gliding is a bit of a pain.

The only having 3 abilities is a bit of a let down, but other than that I quite like it, not sure it is worth a full price, seeing as it is cheaper on PC than 360 by about a tenner.

Just been playing the Overlord demo and whilst the game looks promising, something makes me feel that this is an old game with a new spin, also the demo is a bit short as well.

From what i played online of Shadowrun, i think im gonna get it. It sort of reminds me of a cross between UT and Counter Strike

SP? Shadowrun? You must be confused my good man.

Shadowrun is a bit of a letdown, after playing it for a while, I' ve concluded that it' s easier to sit back with a Sniper-Rifle or pick folks off with your Assault Rifle than bother with re-mapping and memorizing all of your different spells and abilities. In the time it takes me to cast gust & put up one of those spiky meth-walls, I could have jumped around the guy & nailed him with my firearm of choice. I' ll give it another shot tonight, but so far I can see why the game got consistent 6s and 7s.

I played Shadowrun on a friends 360 and I have to say that I think it might be a buy for me but I agree there will definitely be other games I want to buy first like CoD4 or Halo 3 etc.

I' d say Shadowrun is more there to tide you over until CoD4 and Halo 3 are released :)

What are the thoughts on Overlord?
