Midtown Madness gone Gold

Midtown Madness has crossed the line from waiting game to actual product, which is always better than another promise. Microsoft today revealed that Midtown Madness, the latest game in the well-known Madness series, has wrapped development and gone gold, meaning that the product is completed and is expected to start showing up on store shelves in the U.S. in the coming weeks. As a sign of the growing momentum for the title’s imminent appearance on store shelves, Microsoft is also proud to announce that professional race car driver Kiki Wolfkill, whose car Microsoft sponsored last weekend at the Women’s Global GT Championship Race at the Grand Prix of Road Atlanta, took second place in the race. The race is part of the American Le Mans series, and is the largest sportscar series in the United States, attracting competitors from around the world.

Bottom line: if this is your kind of game, start watching the download pages and store shelves. April has been stupidly busy, and this one just joined the pile.
