Mass Effect is Coming to PC!

Mass Effect is a RPG game by BioWare released in 2007 for XBOX360 and has been Nominated Game of the Year by many game magazines and websites. It features a stunning graphics and visual effects as well as an intriguing story and gameplay.

Mass Effect is set on 23rd century in Earth. Where there are many conflicts between human and alien races and artificial races. You play as Commander John Shepard (but you can customise his appearance), you will encounter many planets, races, and many decisions that you have to make. The world will be very dynamic where every actions that you made will affect the environments and characters attitude toward you. Apart from main quest of saving galaxy, you will be given a lot of interesting side quests and minigames. For a Knights of the Republic veteran will surely like this game, however, the gameplay mechanics are not recycled.

Mass Effect has gained many good reviews (for the XBOX 360 version). Gamespot gives 8.5 / 10, IGN gives 9.4 / 10, and GameSpy gives 5 out of 5! So, we can expect that the PC version will be at least as good as the XBOX 360 one.

Originally only intended for XBOX360, BioWare now has confirmed that it will be released for PC on May 6th, 2008. PC version will have better resolution, more detailed, and better support for mouse and keyboard. At last, the most important thing is that it will run quite smoothly in mid-range gaming computer. I'll return later with full download links when it has been released!
