Beyond telling you that I’m participating in the “Shadowrun” beta, I can’t tell you anything about this Xbox 360 title. Well, I can tell you it’s a first-person shooter with a strong online component that’s due out for Xbox 360 and PCs in June. And I can tell you that it will be Microsoft’s first cross-platform game, meaning users on Windows Vista will be able to compete against 360 users and vice-versa.

Actually, I haven’t looked at the fine print of the NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) but I see plenty of places around the Internet giving impressions. I haven’t played it enough to give educated impressions yet, but it reminds me a lot of “Counter-Strike.”
