It is a sci-fi RPG originally available only for the Xbox 360. However, EA and Microsoft have recently come to an agreement allowing the title to come to the PC.
EA promises that the game will be optimized for the PC, with high-resolution visuals, hotkeys, customizable controls, and more!

This additional content, titled Bring Down the Sky, features an all-new world to explore complete with a new alien race known as the Batarians. Overall, Bring Down the Sky will include 90 minutes of additional gameplay and 50 more achievement points, along with an expanded storyline.
Expect Bring Down the Sky to be released on March 10 for 400 Microsoft Points (or $5).
