GameShark | PC | News | Mass Effect Heading to PC

After much speculation and rumors, it seems that the Xbox 360 smash hit game, Mass Effect, is coming to the PC in May 2008. The Action/RPG from game developers BioWare features a massive storyline and open ended gameplay that allows you to explore an entire universe. As Commander Shepard, you lead the crew of the Normandy to find a rogue Specter named Sarin and bring him to justice, all the while learning that not everything is as it seems with your duties. Mass Effect featured a wide range of personalized options for players to choose from ranging from the character creator to the dialogue trees throughout the game that decided how everything would eventually be play out. The PC version will have a few new features including:

Optimized controls designed specifically for the PC
High resolution visuals – Mass Effect for the PC features highly detailed textures, characters and environments.
Fully customizable controls – PC gamers can re-map the control scheme any way they like.
Run & Gun Control – Players can assign biotic powers or skills to ‘hot keys’ allowing them to play Mass Effect with a heavier focus on action.
New decryption mini-game
New inventory screen GUI and functionality

High-definition audio output not doing it for you? Can’t afford the luxury of a gigantic screen? In that case, the Gyroxus chair may be another option for becoming completely immersed in your favorite games.

Owing to the lack of an overarching storyline, Mount & Blade is a game that’s difficult to get into at first. If you can get past the growing pains, however, it offers a compelling, dynamic world that you are free to explore at your leisure and a combat model that is both frenetic and addicting.
