No.

Called all my local software stores and none of them have even heard of it or got in on the "to be released on xxx" lists.

GOA are probably the worst company I have ever encountered, not just 1 thing goes wrong but everything does.

ah, i was gonna take a gamble and take a look in my local GAME shop during my lunch break. But i dont think i'll bother now if most places have never even heard of it, let alone stock it. :(

...same here - seeing as how I only get half an hour for lunch it would have been a bit of a dash so no point now, lol!

Play are showing it as a release on 1st April 2005 - and Amazon are showing 15th April.

Well, I edited out my last post - appears it's mainly GAME's fault - being a pack of arseholes. GOA, I apologise, and I hope Play ship it out straight away.

i checked game hmv gamestation in chesterfield they all looked at me blankly as if i was on some kind of halucinagenic. Although thats normaly for most people in chesterfield.

Not too fussed if we had realised i would have asked our swedish guild member to pick up 8 copies and send him the money.

All you got to think is shit happens at least we can get ml8 done on mid excal :D

Well Just got Back from my main Town Southampton and have been to every Game stockist in the area here Game,HMV,Virgin,EA Boutiques and a few of the local Computer game shops and not 1 has Catacombs in Stock and most didn't even know when they would be getting a Copy of the Game.

The most information I got for the game was from EA Boutique who stated that they Expect the Copy in they stores by April.

I Have also Phoned a few of the Main stores Asda,Tesco and they have no information at all.

So I just wait it out now and hope my Copies arrive from Play.com which I Expect will be next weekend.

From this Conclusion all I can say is I think Goa's Marketing machine should all be looking for new Jobs they have not Marketed this fine game at all infact they are completely Useless and are getting Paid from our Subs to eat they snails and frog legs from my Hard earned money.My solution would be to them is to get out there promote the game even if it means wearing sandwhich Boards going up and down the High Street.

Waiting to Play Catacombs but can't

Soulja
