Bioware have announced the system requirements for the Mass Effect 3 demo which will be inspiring our hearts and minds on February the 14th. You can check them out here after the jump, they might not be the full system requirements for the whole game though (just to warn you), the backing storage required, for example, is only 2.5 Gb and that’s a really small amount.
Anyway it doesn’t actually look too bad at the moment so maybe you won’t need to inject steroids into your graphics card this time. I know I won’t… I’m getting it on X-Box…

P.s. The FemShep wallpaper strikes me as particularly relevant because I can’t think of any female I’d rather spend this years Singles Awareness Day with.
