While Microsoft and Falling Leaf Studios have touted Shadowrun as one of the first Vista-only games, the busy beavers in far-off (And distinctly piratey) places have been working hard. In spite of claims by Shadowrun's developer that getting the game to work on XP was a challenge and requires a special project, said busy beavers have released a wee patch that gets the game to run on XP with all the bells and whistles.

Oops.

    ZOMG! I dunno if I can play Shadowrun since I like the pen & paper version so much, but it's cool that the option now exists.

    Halo 2 has apparently been cracked as well:

    The Shadowrun XP crack definitely works and works very well, graphics are good. It's still just another twitchy FPS but for what it is it's a descent enough game. If you get it out of your head that this *could* have been an amazing Shadowrun MMO and IS just an FPS that is called Shadowrun it's fun, for awhile. But I definitely wouldn't recommend buying it until you've tried it through whatever means you need to go through.
