Battle of the Microsoft releases: Shadowrun versus Forza 2

Shadowrun I LOL @ that game.

The lack of a single player campaign makes Shadowrun an instant pass for me. I would’ve bought Forza, but the Colin Mcrae DiRT demo was so much fun I think I’ll hold off and buy that instead.

Shadowrun, if only for the slim chance of Microsoft following up on their promise of delivering a true sequel to the game by making the successor an adventure title. Essentially, if what they said is to be believed, this FPS is dependent on whether we see a proper Shadowrun title, something Microsoft really should have announced last year at E3.

Forza 2 and DiRT are two completely different games catering for different audiences, but if I had to choose between both racers, I’d definitely go with DiRT. I can see myself spending most of my time playing it over Forza 2. All the same, it should make for a nice rental over the weekend to see everything the game has to offer, especially in the customizable aspect.
