Okay, here's the nutshell summary that I tend to use:

Corporation is a roleplaying game set against a backdrop of Corporate domination. Based in 2500 you take on the role of a biomechanically augmented Agent executing the will of your Corporation. You have been trained, honed and upgraded beyond anything previously imagined, but you’re going to need it as you negotiate, fight, steal and murder in the name of the Corp. From the polluted, rain soaked streets of Old Berlin to the soaring Spire Cities of the Far East your loyalty is always to the Corp and your work dark, brutal and ugly. But you are not alone, enemy Agents, militant police, abominable creations and religious zealots are just a few of the obstacles keeping your from you objective. In this world there is no right and wrong, no good and bad; only the Corporation.

Corporation website: main website for the game.
Deniable Resources: a fansite dedicated to Corporation, complete with Downloads, Galleries and Blogs. Any extras from the main website can be found there, along with a few bonuses uploaded by the members.

What I'll also say: if you like the games Syndicate Wars, System Shock, Deus Ex; if you like the films Ghost in the Shell, Johnny Mnemonic, Matrix; if you like the books of Peter Hamilton, Richard Morgan, William Gibson; then you will enjoy Corporation.

Similar to Shadowrun or Cyberpunk then except you tend to be self-employed in those games (not a requirement).

More Cyberpunk rather than Shadowrun (no magic, see?) but you're right about the employment issue. You can't get the fancy upgrades without being a Corporate Agent so it's probably closer to Syndicate Wars in that respect.

The Game System is a simple 2d10 and roll under an Action Total (AT).Said AT tends to be Stat+Skill+Modifiers but can be Stat+Stat. Rolling a 1/1 tends to be a critical success, 0/0 a critical failure although it depends on certain factors.

No magic, but a lot higher tech level and psionics...
