Here’s two Mass Effect 3 screens courtesy of Game Informer. It isn’t much, but it’s enough to get the purple monster (alright, the  diminutive  purple insult) dancing in my pants.

Oh hell yeah! The Mass Effect-related Dope Train continues chugging along today. Hot on the heels of the news that there’s going to be a Mass Effect anime, Game Informer drops the cover to their next issue. Mass Effect 3, motherfuckers! Which means of course, there’s going to be a goddamn blowout in the issue. It promises to have “12 pages of exclusive info, screens, and art that no Mass Effect fan should miss.”

You bet your fucking ass I won’t.

I’m a total slut for anything Mass Effect. I love me the franchise, in fact it may be my current favorite. I’m doing shit I swore I would never fucking do with a video game series: read the novels and the comic books. Condemn me! So fuck yeah, I’m stoked at the announcement that there’s going to be a Mass Effect anime.

Fuck yeah!

This artwork by Robert Simons is either official Mass Effect 3 concept art, or absolutely fucking gorgeous fan art. What do you think, is this shit legit? It seems consistent with the concept art we’ve seen in the past, and it’s rather lovely.

Artist Patryk Olejniczak has rocked my tits with some ludicrously pretty Mass Effect art. The works, framed as promotional pieces for Mass Effect 3 are some of the best “fan” art I’ve seen for a game. Ever. Over at Kotaku, he’s quoted as saying his goal for these digital paintings was to “to make one of the best [pieces of] fan art (which would also work as promo or poster art) to be had”.

Well done.

Clint Mansell is fucking amazing. If you don’t get down with the soundtracks to Requiem, the Fountain, or Moon – simply put: fuck you. Mass Effect is my favorite franchise going. Now they’re combining. They’re slopping their muck together, gooey awesomeness slathering the walls of my brain. Clint Mansell is scoring Mass Effect 3. Did I do something to earn this reward?

Hit the jump for the fucking trailer.

The plot for Mass Effect 3 leaked today. Maybe. Probably. There’s a good chance it’s legit. It comes from the listing of Mass Effect 3 on the EA online store. Want to hear it? Well, it’s why you’re here, isn’t it?

Earth is burning. Striking from beyond known space, a race of terrifying machines have begun their destruction of the human race. As Commander Shepard, an Alliance Marine, your only hope for saving mankind is to rally the civilizations of the galaxy and launch one final mission to take back the Earth

Fucking rad. It’s about time that they finally let us motherfucking cosmos-hoppers return to where we all began. It makes sense to pin the final chapter of the first Mass Effect trilogy squarely to the one, most important planet they haven’t let us see yet.

I need this game. I need it now.

Via.

A good friend of mine has pointed me towards two stories this week. First the Arkham City reveal, and now this one. Kudos, cheers, and may someone kindly rub your genitals. Remember the BioWare teaser we were all speculating about? First it was reported that it was an off-shoot Mass Effect game. Now it’s been “confirmed” by nebulous dark sources that it’s actually Mass Effect 3 with multiplayer.

1up:

So just what exactly has BioWare been teasing to reveal at the Spike TV VGAs for the last couple of weeks? Would you believe it is, after all, Mass Effect 3? Joystiq reports that a “trusted source” has informed them the mystery game, first teased with the single image above, will indeed be the final chapter in the Mass Effect trilogy.

What’s more, this source says Mass Effect 3 will feature some kind of multiplayer mode, a first for the series. What this source couldn’t confirm, though, is whether the VGA reveal will highlight the multiplayer or not.

Thoughts? Reactions? I couldn’t give less of a shit about a multiplayer aspect for the Mass Effect franchise. Completely understand why it makes sense from a business standpoint. But still, don’t give a shit. Hit the comments box with your take.
