Mass Effectenters into the news cycle for the second time today with this precious little announcement via Valve: the original PC version ofMEis now available on Steam for 50 percent off as part of another Weekend Deal. According to its listingon the Steam Web page, the title sits at $9.99, as opposed to its normal price of $19.99.
The other bit ofMass Effectnews came this morning with EA’s announcement of theMass Effect 2Collector’s Edition bundle. This package comes with the game, a 48-page art book, and unique DLC among other things.
As noted in the press release Valve blasted about theMEsavings this weekend, Bioware’s other RPGDragon Age: Originsis hitting Steam this week. Look for it if you’re a fan of Bioware’s stuff and don’t mind characters interacting with blood all over their faces and bodies.
If you haven’t playedMass Effect(where have you been?), then this is definitely a great bit of initiative to do so. The elevator rides suck and the Mako blows, but the rest of the sci-fi RPG is nothing short of stellar.
