I had the chance to finally play Shadowrun on Sunday at the WARGS meeting.
In many ways this is just D&D for people who like a more techno setting. We only played a game designed to be one-off, but there was certainly more combat and less role-playing a la D&D.
Which isn't to say we didn't have fun, 'cos we did! I played Grignr (named in "honour" of the Eye or Argon), a troll bounty hunter, one of the few people in the group who wasn't some kind of uber-mage, so I was front and center for any combat. Not that we had that much combat, mostly due to previously mentioned uber-mages and that there were seven of us so we overwhelmed any chance the NPCs really had. In fact, our one main "combat" only lasted a round of us pummeling the crap out of the NPCs! In the end, we got out alive, with a ton of cash, and only ended up with two betrayals... success!
So I'd certainly like to play again, and probably will at future WARGS meetings. Yay!
