Electronic Arts' Mass Effect PC - Image 1Electronic Arts and BioWare's Mass Effect for the Xbox 360 caused a lot of waves when it was first released. Gamers who would prefer to experience the game on a different platform will be pleased to know that the PC version of the game will be released this May 6.

For those who don't know what this game is about, here's a quick recap. Players are placed in the role of Commander Shepard as he goes on an adventure to save the galaxy from imminent destruction.

Here's a list of the features (some of which were already revealed previously) that you can expect in the PC version of the game:
  • 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.
  • 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.
If you haven't had a chance to play this game yet but plan on doing so when the PC version comes out, you might want to know that the Xbox 360 version of Mass Effect has received over 70 awards including Console Game of the Year and Role-Playing Game of the year. Why don't you see if it deserved those accolades?
