Shadowrun Beta

So, looks like the Shadowrun Beta has expanded its size, recently sending out redemption codes to thousands of gamers.
I gots myself a code and have downloaded the Beta.  I will give it a whirl soon enough, although they are pretty strict about what you can and cannot say about the Beta.

The Nintendo Wii

My first impressions upon hearing of the Nintendo Revolution months ago were mixed.
