Hey all

I work in Game in Guildford. I have seen a copy in one of the 3 shops in town, in the middle of the PC rack. I will take special care to ensure that copies come out of the store room and onto the racks :)

I am also about to buy a copy, I've just tried the two demos. All that crossed my mind as I played was "I can't believe what the majority are missing".
It's amazing how something can look so un-inviting from the outside and yet be so damn good. Goes to show, people do judge things by their front covers.

I like you a lot, IV!

Theres 1 or 2 copies in the GAME in evesham, worcestershire, its pretty hidden, in the racks where theyre stacked sideways. henever i go in i move it to the front. its the same case every time, either they havent shifted it or they keep putting the same case back.

Multiplayer doesn't exist yet. Once the Steam version is out, then we can look forward to hearing about the multiplayer.

Multiplayer was started and added to the game but never completed for release, so it was disabled. Currently that means its broken. However the Steam release is supposed to have multiplayer added either on release or soon after via patch. I'd recommend grabbing the Steam version as a boxed copy won't be importable (due to no way to prove purchase, by key etc.) Also, i believe the multiplayer will be added to retail versions as well, and hopefully retail and steam players will be able to join and play. It probably boils down to wether you need the game to be in your Steam list or not.

It was released back in March of this year.

IV just recently got the Steam deal.

your point about prices well in PC world (local to me in Worcester) there were two boxes proces at 29.99! despite the fact they haven't been sold for that for ages, I ripped the price tag off in the hope that their computer has the right price and they just haven't bothered to update the label.
