Let’s Play Shadowrun Chronicles: Boston Lockdown

Hoi Chummers! Coming out this week, we take a look at Cliffhanger Production’s Shadowrun Chronicles: Boston Lockdown. Let’s see how the first few levels go with a rat shaman named Herr Maus as team leader.

Originally called Shadowrun Online, the name was changed to reflect the fact that its not an MMO, although grouping with others through the game’s central hub block is still quite easy and seamless. We’ll be doing a Let’s Play of the multiplayer qualities of the game soon, but for now, let’s examine the rich single player interface.

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
