Although largely panned as a game, critics all seemed to agree that Too Human at least had an epic, award-worthy soundtrack, and now that soundtrack is being released for all to hear. On the heels of just being nominated for “Best Original Video Game Score” by the Hollywood Music Awards, Silicon Knights has released the official game soundtrack on CD at Amazon.com and Best Buy and in digital download form through iTunes and Sumthing Digital. The 20-track, hour-long soundtrack was composed by Silicon Knights’ own Steve Henifin and performed by the FILMharmonic Orchestra and Choir Prague. I’ll definitely be adding this to my holiday wish list…

Nearly 10 years since its initial conception as a PS1 title, the first installment in Silicon Knights’ cyberpunk-meets-Norse-mythology action-RPG trilogy, Too Human has gone gold, Microsoft and SK proudly proclaimed this past Friday. That’s right, y’all. No more delays and no more waiting, Too Human is coming and it’s coming fast. August 19th in North America, to be exact. Microsoft also happily reports that the Too Human demo received more downloads “than any other action demo on Xbox LIVE Marketplace in its first week of availability, and has been one of the top played titles on Xbox LIVE overall.” No surprise there. Given the title’s lengthy development history, there’s been a lot of skepticism about its quality amongst the gaming community, so obviously more gamers were eager to get a taste of the game and see if it’s deserving of all the hype.

Microsoft’s Xbox 360 2008 Spring Showcase event is well underway now (continued coverage coming throughout the day, so keep checking back), and among the cavalcade of updates and new game announcements comes long-awaited confirmation of a Too Human release date. Silicon Knights’ epic hack-n-slash action-RPG is officially slated to ship in North America on August 19th, with Europe getting the game ten days later on August 29th. I’ve got some co-op game footage and box art coming up in a bit, but until then tide yourself over with these new screens.
