Poor FASA. And Poor Shadowrun. Nobody cares! Against the might of Halo 3 (or at least its marketing), and a sea of public indifference, it was never going to stand a chance. Still, for the sake of all the money they've sunk into it it's worth one more roll of the dice, and Microsoft are willing to chance it, so on June 6 (a week after its release) they'll be rolling out a 360 demo for the game. It will feature:

• Training: Chapters 1, 2, and 3
  
• Solo Match and Public Match (so both bot play and multiplayer)
  
• One map: Power Station (which means only one game type: Raid)
  
• Two races: Elf and Human
  
• Magic: Tree of Life, Resurrect, Gust, and Teleport
  
• Tech: Glider, Enhanced Vision, and Smartlink
  
• Weapons: Pistol, SMG, Rifle, Shotgun, Katana, and Sniper Rifle
• 
  

The demo will be available in the US, Canada, Mexico, "most parts" of Europe and "some parts" of Asia. Most? Some? Love it. How terribly unspecific! Luke Plunkett
