Another added benefit of picking up the PC release of Mass Effect, besides the fantastic new control scheme, is the availability of free downloadable content that promises to expand the universe. While the first package, 'Bring Down the Sky,' was not included in the retail release, BioWare promised it would be made available when the game launched. Unfortunately the content has been delayed but the legendary Canadian developer is working diligently to bring the 90-minute chapter to PC gamers as soon as possible.

"BioWare's space hamsters are running as fast as they can in their orbital wheels to bring you your free," reads the Mass Effect PC page on BioWare's site.

When the new content is made available BioWare will notify gamers via the game launcher and official site. BioWare also recommends gamers create a BioWare Community Account and register their CD key to prepare for the downloadable content release .
