Which is probably why they should just not bother at all. A side game should be saved for DLC. Few people are going to be interested in paying $60 for a new Mass Effect title that deals with a much lesser threat. The series is epic and spans an entire galaxy. Running around playing detective on the Citadel for an entire game is not going to work, for example. So, they should either 1) Create a prequel, which in itself is not exactly going to be that interesting since we all know how it ends and in regards to humans, less than 200 years have gone by since we've been in space or 2) Create a numbered sequel introducing a new threat and either screwing up the decisions made or somehow incorporating them or 3) Drop the whole idea and call it an end to the ME franchise. Either way, I feel those endings were regardless such a bad idea. They really took a you-know-what on what was (and still is) a fantastic universe.
