^^ Same here. I checked EVERY store I could come across. I did reserve it at GameStop, but they said it should be available tomorrow. Damn them! I wanted it today!

I got a call from my guy at GameStop with an update this evening. He said that supplies of Eye of Judgment were really short, and that only pre-orders were being filled at the moment.

If you didn't reserve this title, looks like it may be a short while before you get your hands on it.

DezNutz · 10-24-2007, 11:08 PM

Sony Stores have it in stock today.. buddy in Canada picked one up... too bad there are no Sony Stores in Nebraska.. where I am..

The funniest examples I have are the no Best Buy within 150 miles of Eastern Connecticut has a copy (at least according to their website) and when I was in Gamestop the woman working said she showed no Gamestop in New England was currently stocking them is hilarious. I went to buy.com, they have them in stock now and you can get it in 2-3 buisness days if your willing to make it an $80 game rather than $72 (Im waiting til next week to get it shipped in, Ratchet and Clank will hold me over until then)

Casey · 10-25-2007, 01:41 PM

best buy here said they were getting 4 copies... they still didnt have them last night though

zachhar · 10-25-2007, 07:55 PM

The gamestop in Crystal Lake, IL said there was a small delay so they didn't have any in.

I picked up my pre-ordered copy of Eye of Judgment this afternoon. The guys at my GameStop told me that I got the ONLY copy they received, and it was because I pre-ordered it so early. They weren't sure when more would be arriving, but they got the impression it wouldn't be "soon" (i.e. more than a week or two from what they were guessing at).

I can't track down any booster cards in my area either. My local card shop was supposed to get some in today, but their shipment got delayed at the last minute and now they're telling me they won't have any until middle of next week.

Shin-Ra · 10-25-2007, 10:57 PM

Should have this tomorrow if Royal Mail do their part, they're a little unreliable after the postal strikes.

Play Magazine Gives Eye of Judgment 9.5/10

Beauty is in the Eye...
By: Dave Halverson

As the world's first virtual card battle Eye of Judgment is nearly flawless in its execution - as close to perfection as can possibly be achieved. As addictive and endlessly fun a game it is, however, there's more going on here, reaching beyond recent strides in online entertainment. Like many an online game, it can be played over a network but that's just the beginning of what's destined to become the first game with an ongoing retail component. Prior to Eye, I found myself thinking about accentuating my game experience via something I could go out and buy. Having gone the first 30 days with a starter deck watching the computer brandish character cards I didn't possess, I found myself counting the days until I could wield them, wondering how much Mana they might be able to cast, or what their attack, defense and attack range might be. This is not normal thinking. All of a sudden I'm obsessing over a deck of strategy cards? Have I entered true Geekdom? Apparently so. Receiving the actual starter deck for the retail game I tore the wrapper off and began shuffling madly: "Oooh, Elven Berserker Maidens! Venom Assassins! Stone Wing Dwarf! The Biolith Battle Chariot! Sciondar the Fire God, and TAURUS MONOLITH!!!" I couldn't wait to place them onto the battle mat and watch the sparks fly. "If only I had a White Cubic or Parmetic Holy Feast" Ahhh! What have I become? Thinking it couldn't get any better, a few days later the screens on the spread came in (all of which feature never before seen characters)... "There are more!!??" And then I realized: There will always be more! Suffice it to say the knee-high gothic table I bought for my EoJ setup is now a permanent fixture under my wall-mounted flatty. Now all I need is a cloak. The first thing anyone asks when they see it... What's that"? Oh, here, let me show you... Muahahaha, another PS3 sold!!

I never imagined that a deck of cards could harness such fandom (I've always scratched my head over crazes like Yu-Gi-Oh! and the like). It's the transition from imaginary to virtual that grabs you by the cajones. Beyond the visual satisfaction, the game, which is great to begin with, only gets better over time. The more you learn about your characters and their unique attributes, the more astute you become. "I wonder if this Triceptaur Behemoth will survive on a water field..." Now I understand how people end up shriveled and alone playing Warcraft... well, sort of. The beauty about Eye is that your average game clocks in at 30 minutes; an hour tops. And while you're not playing you don't have to worry about the unemployed stock broker leveling up to kill you. With nine years left in the PS3's lifespan (unless it grows a mind of its own and pulls a Roy Batty on us "... I want more life fu&%$r!") I can only imagine what my EoJ collection will look like in 2016 s I wait for my PS4. EoJ 2 better be a launch title, or else!!!

If I give another 10 this year Nick will fly in and spike my Sugar Free Bawls so I'll knock off a .5 for the occasional Eye malfunction in dimly lit rooms and size of the playfield. Satisfied? I plan on going into hiding after the Rachet & Clank review.

No game.. Royal Mail fails me. Maybe tomorrow.

I actually like in Harvard, IL. I guess it will be a week or two before I can get it. should have reserved.
Question? Can you reserve any game that is coming out at Gamestop?

Shin-Ra · 10-26-2007, 07:08 PM

Late delivery - I have The Eye of Judgment.

Learning the game's pretty daunting through the video instructions but once you get in and play it's pretty self explanatory. Only thing I don't quite understand is the egg character which you can replace with another card with no mana used for summoning. I ended up killing off the card I replaced the egg with for +2 mana due to low health but the replacement card remained. I'm sure I'll work it out once I've used the card a few more times.

WeApOn · 10-26-2007, 07:16 PM

Very interested to hear some impressions for this. I've seen a few people say it's alot like Triple Triad(FFVIII card game). But I thought the creatures only had one strength.. not dependant upon its sides?

Ah.. and really interested to know how long each game usually takes. I've heard most of them are only 5-10 minutes long. But I heard of a case where someone went through all of their 25 cards??

Hawknelson05 · 10-27-2007, 12:22 AM

I'm usually not the type of person to go for these card/cult games. Yes cult... You know what I mean. But I've read reviews and was reading the package at work and it really does look pretty cool. I might go pick it up. Anyone played it yet? How is it?

SixAxiS · 10-27-2007, 12:35 AM

I heard great reviews also but like you said; I'm staying away from the card battle trend. The Playstation Eye doesn't interest me much since they completely scrapped the HD Cam idea. I'm just waiting for the big November releases.

aphex · 10-27-2007, 12:36 AM

I dunno but wizards of the coast makes it and they make magic so I bet it's really good.

I was thinkin of pickin it up soon also.

oldmike · 10-27-2007, 02:06 AM

look for it at targets a ToysRus hasbro is backing the game so toy store got 1st shipments

Are you talking about White Cubic? I figured out how to use him earlier today.

Step 1: Summon him for 1 Mana on any square.
Step 2: On a subsequent turn, if White Cubic is still alive on the board, place any other Summon card from your hand on top of him. The card will pop into play for 0 additional cost, but can not immediately attack (you have to Activate it to attack in the future).

I used it to summon the humongo Fire God guy that normally costs 9 Mana on turn 2...

zball · 10-27-2007, 08:31 AM

hard to find had to go all over but this is the BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED!!!!!! im 32 and have owned almost every game system out there. Yes I have played all the zeldas Halos and gears of war and this is better. But get more than just the starter deck a few bugs in online play.
