Microsoft has announced that Too Human has gone gold and will be heading to stores on August 29 - North American gamers get the game on August 19. Too Human is a modern take on classical Norse mythology and is exclusive to the Xbox 360.

According to Microsoft the demo has already been downloaded more than any other action demo on Xbox LIVE Marketplace in its first week of availability, with the current download total exceeding 900,000.

The game and Silicon Knights founder Denis Dyack have come under fire from gamers and the press after numerous contentious comments from Dyack himself and some less than positive hands-on impressions.

We'll give you our verdict closer to the game's August 29 release date, but you can expect an interview with Dyack next week.
