360 R6 Vegas strikes gold

The lights of the famed Las Vegas Strip have just gotten a little brighter for Ubisoft. The publisher today announced that Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas for the 360 has gone gold and will be shipping to stores on November 20.

The game sees players lacing up the combat boots of special operatives as they battle a terrorist organization that has targeted Sin City. Gamers will lead a squad into classic Vegas locations, using high-tech gadgets and good old-fashioned firepower to neutralize enemies.

This is the third Tom Clancy-branded game to come to the Xbox 360, following Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter in March and the recently released Splinter Cell Double Agent. Rainbow Six Vegas is also headed to the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, and PC later this year.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas is rated M for Mature and will retail for $59.99. For more information, read GameSpot's previous coverage.
