Exciting stuff. This may well mean the PS3 port will look considerably better than the 360 original, while also giving us a pretty good idea of what the third game will look like. Of course, 360 players can still take solace in the fact they got to enjoy the epic space opera a full year before PS3 owners.

The PS3 version will also have an interactive back story comic (catchy!) made by Dark Horse, which will fill in Mass Effect virgins on all the alien-sexing shenanigans of the first game.
