Kotaku has the scoop that a UK gaming magazine, PC Gamer UK to be exact, has word that Bioware's next big game Mass Effect which up until now has been an Xbox 360 exclusive - will supposedly debut on the Games for Windows platform in 2007 now. Here is what PC Gamer UK had to say:
 
Mass Effect will come to PC (it's currently only announced for Xbox 360): it's not been officially confirmed but we have it on good authority. It's been three years since a BioWare developed game hit the PC: Mass Effect is a forceful reminder of why that's too damn long.
 
Of course this is by no means a confirmation of the deal here, but Bioware has made some awesome games in the past for consoles and then released them on PC. It makes perfect sense to release a huge, huge game like Mass Effect on the PC as well. Here's hoping.

I'm not surprised at all...I'm guessing it will be Vista only like GOW and Halo 2?..it's just Microsoft trying to boost the sales of Vista I think

More than likely, sigh

or bring out games to dx10 technology.... perhaps you want to double your resources and time working on 2 diffrent game versions and eventually having roughly the same sale results?

Otherwise, what motive will people have to buy mass effect if its the same as the xbox360 dx9 version?

and whats the basis for this "double your resources" claim? I see no reas that supporting DX 9 would come minutely close to requiring double the resources, not even close.

Hopefully this might mean we can play against Xbox360 users online or something!
