It's April 1st already. You know, with them being ahead of the whole world, time-wise. I would have guessed it was a joke, even had it come at any other time of the year, though. That is one ugly-ass logo.
Microsoft already owns FASA Interactive. Instead of pointing you towards Wikipedia, which is becoming so passe, how about... a link to the official Shadowrun website! http://shadowrun.com/ Have a look at the logos at the bottom.
He's making money off of Epic's IP, so I'm pretty sure they're in the right this time. It's still stupid on their part, though, since he's not making much money, and it's one-time only. Honestly, it sounds like they're doing this just to get their hands on the painting for free, since it's pretty kick-ass. Regardless, he just got a bunch of free advertising out of it.

There's a bit too much recycling going on in the GTA series. Which makes this fake box art the perfect homage, really, considering it includes images or references to pretty much all previous games.
How long until we can "print" high-quality statues, like the Japanese ones I see every once in a while on Kotaku? Some of those look really good, but not $200+ good. If I could make one at home, anytime... that would be sweet.
