If you have any extra cash not already invested in the reasonably-priced Mass Effect 2 CE, why not spread the love by buying the original game for a friend at a discounted price?  Starting today, you can buy Mass Effect from Steam for $10.00 USD.

Haven't played the game yet?  Here's a brief refresher: Mass Effect is a sci-fi action RPG that lets you take on the role of Commander Shepard (or your own customized avatar) to embark on an interplanetary mission to battle against an ancient threat.  Helping you out are two partner characters of your choice that wield unique skills to assist with your missions.  Aside from a rather unique group of allies, you've also got some high-powered firearms and Biotic skills (like the Force in Star Wars).

Mass Effect on PC differs from its console counterpart in that it has some improved features and an all-new HUD made especially for PC play.  The Steam edition also includes the "Bring Down the Sky" DLC at no extra charge.  All this for ten bucks is a pretty good deal for one of 2007's most highly regarded games.
