One of the biggest hot button topics on the Xbox 360 today is Shadowrun. Why is it a Counter-Strike-esque first-person shooter? Why isn’t it a role-playing game? Why doesn’t it make me coffee when I get up in the morning?

All of these questions (well, except for that last one) and more are answered by FASA Studio head Mitch Gitelman in the most candid interview we’ve ever had on the show (yes, more candid — though less profane — than CliffyB). Mitch doesn’t back down from anything the fans have been asking about…and we brought it all up. And amidst the controversy, Mitch also talks about Live Anywhere and a bunch of the game’s slickest features. Tune in now!
