I wouldn't say the Geth are the most alien. Probably the Elcor or the Hanar.

There was an article recently talking about ME3 and how much extra programming goes into making a non-humanoid playable character. So that is one real-world reason behind the prevalence of humanoids.

Doesn't that sort of equate to "But GUUUUYS, alien locomotion is HAAARD!!!1!1"?

The price of convincing your audience and maximizing immersion, methinks. Bullymongs from Borderlands 2 we some of the most outlandish and stupid-looking beasts ever. Hopefully we at least won't be subjected to any of that noise.
