Chris Buffa (Modojo): Jordan Weisman's having a great week.
Forty-eight hours ago, the famous game designer and Harebrained Schemes made a passionate plea to the gaming community to fund a sequel to his award-winning Shadowrun franchise via Kickstarter, which has become the go-to site for developers interested in bypassing publishers. This new title, Shadowrun Returns, would follow the series' tradition of transporting players to a Cyberpunk-inspired fantasy world full of magic, monsters and intrigue. All he needed was $400,000, a tiny sum in comparison to the millions poured into big-budget console games.

Paul writes: "Shadowrun Returns on Xbox is a solid tactical RPG with a good story; one which you will certainly enjoy."

Starting today, Hitman and Shadowrun Collection are free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until September 3 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim them, they’re yours to keep.
Shadow run collection is excellent. When you redeem it unlocks 3 separate titles in your library. Epic is on a roll
