ME PC is coming this week? cool.

The shooting should be better in this :P

it WILL be, me thinks.

I haven’t heard anything about the shooter or inventory system being improved for the PC version. It sounded like a straight port. :( Still a great game, but yeah there’s room for improvement in Mass Effect 2.

OK I was wrong Reeteshinator, I just looked into it and here are the PC version’s improvements according to EA:

“Fully optimized for the PC through a collaboration between BioWare and Demiurge Studios, Mass Effect includes a new Tactical Heads-Up Display, higher resolution visuals, an enhanced inventory system, fully optimized controls designed specifically for the PC, individual squad control and a new decryption mini-game. The “Bring Down the Sky” downloadable content for Mass Effect on PC, featuring 90 minutes of new gameplay, will also be available free.”
