BioWare has today announced that Mass Effect, the multi award-winning space exploration epic will be released for PC on May 6 across North America.

Gamers will once again take control of Commander Shepard and embark on a twisting adventure to save the galaxy from destruction. The game has been redesigned for the PC and introduces a host of new features. These include a new squad control interface, hot-key functionality, redesigned Mako controls, quick-save and increased save slots, a new decryption mini-game and a new inventory screen GUI.

We thought Mass Effect on Xbox 360 was worthy of a stupendous 10/10 and the PC version could well prove even better.

There's still no confirmed European release date, although we're anticipating May 9.
