EA has confirmed at its Gamescom conference that critically-acclaimed sequel Mass Effect 2 will be ported to the PlayStation 3 in January next year.
The Bioware RPG generated strong sales on both Xbox 360 and PC this year, and has been one of Microsoft's most trumpeted platform exclusives.
There is no news yet on whether the original Mass Effect will follow suit. Mass Effect 2's save-inheritance system dealt with the potential consequences of actions from the first game, but players without a Mass Effect save game on their hard drive were given a default set of events to unfold.

News: Bankrupt Playlogic subsidiary to publish game in Asia
Playlogic Entertainment's international subsidiary will be launching Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 title Fairytale Fights in Asia, despite having been declared bankrupt on 3rd August, 2010.
The move is an attempt to restart Playlogic International NV, something which the company's trustee believes will be successful, claiming that interest in the title is high.
