Looks Like Modern Warfare 2’s Gone Gold
6:00AM Owen Good | This is what the news biz calls an “incremental development”, but when it involves a game as highly anticipated as Modern Warfare 2, people notice. Yesterday, folks who’d friended some Infinity Ward types saw them playing it on Xbox Live. More »

In A Terrible Economy, The Hopeless Turn To Gold4Jetpack
12:40PM Owen Good | Bionic Commando’s cheeky YouTube ads were pretty alright; the game, eh, it had problems. But Capcom’s right back at it with this pitch, giving your pre-order of Dark Void from GameStop all the fulfillment of visiting a pawn shop. More »

You Can Buy Actual World Of Warcraft Gold Coins
9:20AM Michael McWhertor | With World of Warcraft comic books, action figures, t-shirts and trading card games already thoroughly merchandised by Blizzard and their partners, what’s left to license? How about World of Warcraft coins? DC Unlimited is making ‘em, legitmising WoW gold selling. More »
Mirror’s Edge Goes Gold, Factory Bound
10:40AM Stuart Houghton | Do games actually go gold anymore? I mean, as in actually make a proper gold CD/DVD that gets couriered to an actual games factory? Just typing the phrase ‘games factory’ makes it seem a bit Willy Wonka.
Gamestation Offers World-Exclusive Gold Gears 2 Lancer Replica
5:40AM Mike Fahey | Sure, people who pre-order Gears of War 2 get an exclusive in-game gold Lancer weapon to chainsaw their friends with, and folks can order a rather-expensive replica Lancer from Amazon, but only UK online retailer Gamestation offers both. They are now accepting pre-orders for the Gears of War 2 – Gold Lancer Assault Rifle, the same life-size replica of the game weapon as offered on Amazon, only this one is gold. The weapon is priced to sell at £129.99 ($317.95), and comes complete with the limited collector’s edition of the game itself, which I suppose is a handy thing to have once you realise that killing people with the toy version of the weapon is extremely difficult.

Rock Band Goes Gold
5:20AM Mark Wilson | It’s not that Guitar Hero III is a complete abomination, though the head to head mode really does little for us; it’s that Rock Band looks so f’ing good. So when we heard that Rock Band had just gone gold, our heart skipped a beat—right before we recreated certain scenes from Risky Business (…not that we’ve ever seen the movie, we swear) and scarred our cat for life. So for the next 5 minutes, I’m going to forget that Rock Band bundles will be the only available incarnations of the game at release, and that the USB conglomerations for both PS3 and Xbox 360 fall somewhere between disappointing and horrendous. Hit the jump for the full press release, unadulterated by my killjoy nature. More »
UT3 Gold and Dated for PC
3:40AM Mark Wilson | So just why don’t video games go silver or copper? Does it have to do with the process of mass production? Yes, of course. No. It’s because every game is “going for it” like an Olympian, just like Unreal Tournament 3 for PC. Actually, let’s just stick with the “gold master” argument and point out that UT3 is prepared for mass duplication and should ship on November 19th. Europeans could see the game as early as November 23rd, but there’s no way Team America is hurrying up on your accord. We’ll all be too busy playing…and using steroids to train for Beijing.

11:20PM Luke Plunkett | Sick of the demo? Keen to get DX10ish goodies running on your Xp-runnin’ PC? All good. Crysis just went gold. That’s it! Expect no further changes to the promised product until you’re inevitably forced to patch it 2 hours after picking your copy up on November 16. Crysis Gold [GameDaily.biz] More »
