Electronic Arts sent out a press release announcing that the award-winning space epic Mass Effect will be released for the PC on May 6, 2008 in North America. Re-designed for the PC, Mass Effect invites players to take the role of Commander Shepard as they set out on an adventure to save the galaxy from imminent destruction. Wrought with treachery, heroism, difficult decisions and a universe filled with unique and colorful species, Mass Effect delivers a truly compelling storyline.

Mass Effect for the PC introduces the following features:
- New squad control interface - Players can now issue commands to individual squad members, providing a new level of depth to the tactical combat.
- Hot-key functionality - Biotic powers and abilities can be mapped to individual keys, allowing a faster “run and gun” style of gameplay.
- Re-designed Mako controls - Players can explore alien planets and engage in vehicular combat with an intuitive and fully camera independent control system for the Mako, their all-terrain vehicle.
- Quick-save - New quick-save button and increased number of save slots.
- New decryption mini-game - A new decryption mini-game invites players to test their skills as they avoid obstacles and move their icon to the center of the digital mechanism.
- New inventory screen GUI and functionality - The enhanced inventory system makes it easier for players to equip and modify their weapons and armor.

all of the above the console needs. and should be able to download as game content.. this is bull shit.

It's not bullshit but simple marketing mechanics. Its easier to sell something "old" if you fill it up with some "new" things.

This helps old players of the game be drawn to test the PC installment - which should cover why they at the moment atleast, won't release these "upgrades" as a patch or DLC.

Sweet! I guess this game paired with a brand new R700 will kick ass

The reson is simple.
We pc players are not content with geting half finished games like console people do.
Witch is strange as you pay more for the same game.
So now thay try the game on consoles, then fix the problems and release it to us the pc players.
Console players are always geting screwd by the companys, i dont know y you take it?
If it was me i would stop geting consols and games to show them that thay cant mess with me.
That is y i always tell my friends to get pc and not console.
You can do 10x times mor things with a computer and if you have kids thay will lern skills thay need in the bissnies world.

Console gaming is going to die, unless thay make it more like a pc (or mac).
Look at the consoles to day, thay got usb ports, harddrives, cd/dvd/blueray/ roms, internet connection and somtimes a keyboard.
Wouldent it be simpler just to get a computer?
I think most people that have consoles, have a computer as well.
So you are paying 2x for the same thing.
Stop the console crazy companys bleeding us dry with ther overpriced games that cost less on pc, have less bugs and mod posibility.

Any way this game will rock.
This is what i have bean missing in my gaming collection.
I will go to my local shop and get it, as soon as its released in sweden.
