Post Mass Effect PC: IGN's Game of the Month

The editors at IGN have crowned the PC version of BioWare's Mass Effect as their "Game of the Month" for May.
This was actually a close contest, as Stardock's stellar expansion Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor came within a whisker of the prize. Each are certainly excellent games, but we had to give the edge to Mass Effect because while not only is it a full game as opposed to an expansion, but it's also the best RPG on the platform since The Witcher more than six months ago.

Mass Effect is a game that you simply must play if you love science fiction or role-playing games, and it's definitely worth consideration even if you played the Xbox 360 version of it already. The PC version has been enhanced and revamped in some ways for the PC, but you also get the better version with faster load times, unlimited save slots, higher resolution graphics, and more.

So why do we need "game of the month" awards, exactly?

'Cause so many quality games are released each month that the punters must be told what is hype and what is not

I bet this author must have loved Mass Effect to death.
