Gamersmint has republished a list of interesting Mass Effect 3 titbits originally spotted in the latest issue of Gameinformer. We already reported on a series of newly revealed details last week, including the fact that Mass Effect 3 will not introduce multiplayer to the series.

The rest of this post may contain spoilers, so don’t say we didn’t warn you.
