I've heard the Shadowrun game for XBox is not very good.... but I've never tried it myself.

I have also heard the same, but I figured it must be available for an affordable price by now.

Download the demo. Its not good. Bad would be the operative word actually. I never even finished the training for the demo. It has some interesting ideas, but execution if poor to say the least.

If you want a good shooter, especially for online play then really you should look no further than CoD 4. Its near perfect as far as I am concerned.

I'm trying to demo. Let's see how it works.

I'm playing CoD4. Very enjoyable.

The Edsel? Mechanically, not much was wrong with it. It was just too expensive for the times (the economy took a bit of a downturn in 1958), and wasn't "unique" enough. If customers wanted a cheaper car, they went for the Ford Fairlaine, and if they wanted something "high end" they went to Mercury.

At least they didn't call it the Utopian Turtletop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edsel#Edsel_and_its_failures).

Ah. That explains a lot. I was always wondering, since it's synonymous with disastrous product, what exactly was so wrong with it.

I worked with Polkaroo once. Well, with one of them. There were quite a few.

They were like the candle that burned twice as bright.
