For those of us following Mass Effect, I've got some bad news for you: According to CVG and Microsoft, the anticipated RPG is being pushed back from a summer release to a September release. The horrid details:
BioWare's much-anticipated Xbox 360 RPG Mass Effect has finally been pencilled in for release this September, months after the June/July arrival date previously expected. The news comes from an official Microsoft event this morning, though no more details have been offered.
If the game does in fact come out in September, then we are in for a flood of too many good games at once. Spread this stuff out people!

Seriously, is there anything on those lists that isn't a licensed movie game that you planned on buying this summer?
Not for me, that's fer damn sure.

May 29, 2007 Shadowrun
June 18, 2007 Hour of Victory

August 2007 Blue Dragon
August 2007 John Woo Presents Stranglehold
Sept 3, 2007 BlackSite: Area 51
Sept 3, 2007 Unreal Tournament 3
That's the healthiest summer list of any console, IMO. It's the fall I'm really looking forward to, though. September will be a huge month for the PS3.
I thought E3's death would have had some effect.
I have a great Dead Rising walkthrough for you.
"they have made no official announcements" concerning date etc etc
so it's just speculation
will be soon either way
Also, Microsoft US and Bioware are refusing to comment on that "date" right now, which is not even a date but a targeted month.
In the end, even if the game comes out in September, this will only mean that the game has been polished a bit more.
And personally, I'll be on vacation this fall so I don't mind getting a gazillion games at that time ;)
Sure, go ahead and lie to yourself about Too Human, Stranglehold, and UT3. Those of us in reality know too well that a release date for at least 2 of those games will be late 2007 at the earliest. I'd be shocked to see Too Human this year frankly. I'd put good money on Stranglehold getting delayed for some reason, call me wary, considering the speculative Aug '07 release date...

I can do you one better.
This is my dog, and his mother.
MONSTERS!!
Getting a Mini-Me has its perks ;)
As for the date itself:
"We have not made any official announcements regarding release timing for Mass Effect," adds Microsoft. "At this time, any information about the game's release date is purely rumor and speculation."
It can easily go either way, but hopefully this is an European release date like Jak said.
Also, Too Human looks like its pretty close to being completed, so hopefully that'll some soon.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!11!!!1
Needs the subtitle: "OMG knock first!!1!"
I'm ignoring all the lackluster summer releases (imo) and i'm finally going to jump head first into my VC, This is the summer of the retro. and for those us us who held out on buying those games, wait until June. summer gaming drought wont even be recognized
