Has Mass Effect Gone Gold?
Rumor runs rampant as several message boards have posted what is claimed to be a leaked e-mail from Microsoft Game Studios.
MGS is very pleased to announce that Mass Effect has passed certification and has been released to manufacturing.
While it took a bit longer than we originally anticipated to complete this epic title, we are all very proud of the game and early reviews (9.75 from Game Informer, 95 from Consol.at, and Game of the Month from GamePro) show that others share our enthusiasm.
While this [potential] news is indeed very exciting, I’m curious about the timing. Mass Effect is still weeks away from its November 20th release, so why, if true, would they go into manufacturing so early?
I’ll be keeping a close eye on this one throughout the day.
NOTE: I feel the need to remind everyone what “rumor” basically means — you can throw a dart at a board. Either it will hit, or it will miss.
