The Hanars and the Batarians are not the weirdest things people have seen in the Mass Effect series. Take these goofy-looking Shepard creatures, for instance. Thanks to the game's deep character customization, people have made some downright freaky Commanders. Let's laugh at these together.
The Mass Effect series is a true space opera full of interstellar battles, irreversible decisions, sprawling story-lines and so, so many defining moments. The events of the trilogy could fill twice as many games and novels as there already are.
The red ending. Is it canon? Who's to say? It's the only ending that differs greatly from the others and that's for one major reason.
Not finished talking about the ending of Mass Effect 3? Bring your ideas to Kotaku Game Club tomorrow at 4pm eastern. We'll be having our own climactic battle over the ending and the controversy, so don't miss it!

Welcome to the first Kotaku Game Club discussion of Mass Effect 3. Since I hadn't determined a stopping point ahead of time, we're going to say that today's discussion will cover everything through the mission on Menae.
