Demiurge and BioWare Team up to Bring Mass Effect to the PC

It's official:

Demiurge and BioWare have teamed up to bring the award-winning title Mass Effect to the PC, now fully optimized for the PC. The team has added gameplay and performance enhancements in our effort to deliver the best version possible to the PC audience.

Demiurge began working with BioWare during the final stretch of development for the Xbox 360 version, allowing the studios to collaborate closely throughout the co-development process. Mass Effect has been tailored to feel natural to the PC user while staying true to the original game experience. Mass Effect for the PC features a third command wheel so players can access squad members separately, a new inventory system, customized key mapping and a brand new minigame. Extra attention was focused on visuals, offering higher resolution graphics for an enhanced gaming experience for the PC.
