Fortunately for Mitch Gitelman and FASA Studios, recently released pride and joy Shadowrun looks like it's now unofficially available for play not just on the Xbox 360 and Windows Vista, but Windows XP as well. Circumventing the other franchise killing executive decision—to limit the game's Windows audience to Vista only—warez group Razor 1911 has released a crack for Shadowrun that makes it playable on Windows XP and without DirectX 10 support.

The report from The Inquirer also states that the crack is rather simple, requiring only a few files to be rewritten to get the game working under the older Windows OS. Michael McWhertor
