If the PC version of Mass Effect is better than the 360 version (I'm not saying it is, I haven't even see the 360 version) then I don't understand how it could get that many awards at all.
The whole game and concept shows that its mainly built around consoles and that lends me to believe that the 360 version might actually work better (and it should), especially since it was the lead platform for development.

Less bugs and graphical glitches (although still not perfect), better and faster aiming with the mouse. Also, the interface actually worked really well when you have access to a mouse. And of course, better graphics. Overall, the game worked really well on PC.

Remember, they released the PC version slightly after the 360 version, so they had time to iron out the bugs.

I did play through the PC version you know. The game plays like a console game to me and felt clunky and somehow slow most of the time. There were still a few bugs, one that was completely crippling to the gameplay (a weapons bug that froze up all your weapons when one overheated, only remedy was a load, very funny near the end of a boss fight or a long shootout). I do have high hopes for the sequel and I know for a fact that it'll be something right up my alley but I still find myself missing the Baldur's Gate days of Bioware, Dragon Age didn't seem to quench my thirst, it seems.

Guess I was lucky I never encountered that particular bug. Still had some annoying ones though that sent me "ctrl+alt+del"ing frantically in annoyance. Honestly, I actually quite liked the interface on PC and thought it worked quite nicely. I could see how it originated on the console but it still worked well enough for me to not care. Another thing I failed to mention was the free downloadable content, but you already know that as you've played it .

Baldurs Gate was quality, although I think nostalgia has a part to play in the lack of thirst quenching!
