Both are fine.

Nice. I think I might have to get it at that price.

I've looked at Shadowrun in the past. How big is the community currently though? Even if it's 99 cents, with a lack of single player I don't want to spend a dollar for a dead game.

Playing any decade-old game will be an exercise in eye-shredding pain compared to modern games. I remember loading up the original Half-Life a few years back with thoughts of replaying my favorite game of all time, but I only made it to the great moment where you press the elevator button, bringing the screaming car plummeting down the shaft (that's what she said!), before packing it in. You can't go home again.

I remember liking Deus Ex a lot, especially the multiple endings; I took care to have a save point that I could reload to head down the other story forks in the road. The level of detail in small stuff like being able to play pool on the table in the bar was cute. There was a bug which allowed implants to run forever w/o sapping batteries if you switched them on via the menu instead of hot keys which made sneaking around hella easy.

However, it made a huge mistake that many games do in switching to 3rd person for cut scenes rather than sticking to 1st person like in Half-Life games or Call of Duty where you never stop seeing thru your character's eyes. The voice acting for Denton was awful and the flailing animation didn't help. When you had to commit to mod choices - e.g. do you want to be able to jump farther and run faster or be permanently stealthy with the leg mod? - it was before you knew what was ahead or what your playing style would ultimately be, so it was possible to gimp your character early on. There was also a story point which broke the covenant the game had made for the first half which said you could play it how you wanted to by forcing you to kill someone and ending up in the next scene regardless of what you want. Unlike Bioshock which handled that sort of thing with a 1st-person view cut scene, Deus Ex makes you play it out even though who have no choice in what to do. They should've just done a cut scene instead of breaking format.

Still, for a buck, it's a must get for those looking for some old-school action or those with older PCs that can't hack Crysis and later eye candy over gameplay and story games. You can't get a soft drink for a buck, so why not?

Yep I'm waiting on an answer to bubo's question. I'm not about to drop a dollar on a game that doesn't have anybody playing it.

No go on an Onine Only game... even for 99 cents!

Cmon MS lets see Gears of War for $5, and RE5 discounted.

There isnt enough games on GFW that its the same games every time!
Bet Dirt 2 will be coming up soon!

Not to sure how big the Shadowrun community is not been on it for months but was still getting some games and you can play with Bots so if not in it for achievements should still pick up.

For the price I could not pass it up! I own it on 360 already but since it's a cross-platform game can play with some buddies on my PC with them instead of having to do so on my 360.

I would like to see RE5 Discounted or any game I don't own that has achievements

From what I've read, the community is still active, though the ones hanging around will pummel you since they know all the tricks. I played this a while back on 360 and loved it, so it's a no-brainer for me. Also remember that you play on the same servers as the 360 players, so that should help with finding games.

Day 2 Deal!! Shadowrun for only $0.99!!! Keep the deals coming Microsoft! ha

Hello! Guys:

It says 1600 points when I look at my cart, is that normal?

Very excited to get Deus Ex for a dollar as I just got Invisible War yesterday for the Xbox. I lost my old copy of Deus Ex and have been wanting to play through these again before Human Revolution comes out.

Repost, the original post was right above this one.

Awesome!!!..I hope Microsoft keeps these deals up aswell..Just bought myself a copy and one for my cuzin.

for which deal? Dues EX deal has expired... it's now the Shadow Run deal... if it's showing up at 1600 in your cart for Shadow Run, no that's not normal.. try again in a few minutes

Hope I can convince my friends to pick Shadowrun up. I purchased it myself for dirt cheap from gogamer awhile back and only played a bit against bots. It was certainly entertaining and I can see the potential for some intense action. If only there was a way to gift games like you can through Steam =/... they can be pretty stubborn when it comes to trying something new no matter the price.

sweeet. Thanks OP
