Geist finally goes gold

Cube shooter complete at last.

n-Space has finally finished work on GameCube first-person shooter Geist, according to a posting on the developer's official website.

Apparently the game went gold on July 8, and is slated to appear in US stores next month. A European release is currently planned for October.
