EA's Mass Effect, the popular science fiction themed series of video games, is now available on Windows Phone 8, in the form of the Lumia exclusive title Mass Effect: Infiltrator. The title, which is already available for iOS and Android and is best described as a companion game to the main trilogy, is a 3D third person shooter, that sees Randall Ezno, a Cerberus agent, going rogue after he discovers his employees cruelty.

In the Windows Phone game you move through a Cerberus base, detailed with impressive graphics and atmospheric audio, taking out enemies as you go. There's a simple control system, with character movement and firing via taps and swipes on the left and right-hand-side of the screen respectively.

As you might expect there are a series of upgrades available in the form of high-tech armour and weapons (biotic powers, cloak abilities, and more). These upgrades are purchased using credits, which are earned by playing the game (more credits for "stylish" kills). There's a bonus level to lock too, along with the usual Xbox achievements.

Mass Effect: Infiltrator will surely be popular with the fans of the main series, but should also appeal to those looking for a 3D third person shooter on Windows Phone.
