I spoke to someone at Viva Media today. They have received the game today and are starting to ship it today. If you have ordered it from them you should have it this week.

That is great news! I have just finished a preview copy of the game and it is charming.

Well developed story, involved characters. Reminds me almost of the Wizard of Oz. The music is just lovely. It is also one very long and large game. Graphics have always been a strong point for Frogwares and this game has the best I have seen from them. A large variety of puzzles are featured in the game, inventory based and stand alone traditional puzzles.

You will get a real kick out of some of the environments. I want to move to the land beneath and live with one particular group.

There are some puzzles that are tough and you may well need some hints on. I have it on very good authority that a WT will be available fairly soon here at GB.

So I think that most gamers will be happy with the game when it arrives. Yep.

Exciting news. Cant wait to get my hands on a copy.

I don't know how, but it was delivered about five minutes ago. I assumed when the woman said they had just received them that I would get it by the end of the week.
It's nice to get something before you're supposed to for a change.

How was it shipped?

It was shipped UPS 3 day Select. It was shipped on Friday according to the tracking number.
I live about 20 miles North of where it's shipped from in Manhattan so I guess it comes faster.

Hey, I wonder if Gamestop has shipped their's with the pre-order-free 2 day delivery

Oh goodie! Thanks for letting us know.

That is a good review and well deserved.

Thanks for the info Linds! I hate to admit it, but with so many games comming latley, I don't remember if I've ordered this one or not!!

Uh oh.. is that a new undocumented stage of BAAGS??

P.S. Linds, I grew up in Nyack, NY. Are you anywhere near there?

Hi Louis,
I live in Westchester County.(Scarsdale).
I'm not quite sure how close that is.

I ordered Journey to the Center of the Earth and Schizm 2 (aka Mysterious Journey 2) at the same time when Gamestop had their pre-order free shipping sale. I wonder if they will wait unitl Schizm 2 is available before shipping Journey to the Center or whether they'll ship separately.

Got mine today! Yea!!

Well, I am annoyed. I ordered through Gamestop also, to get the free shipping and they keep pushing back the shipping date! It started as Oct 20, then was the 22nd, now it is listed as the 27th. What gives, I wonder? I hope they aren't ripping me off.

In this case it does seem like the publisher Viva is the fastest path to Journey game right now. Either way it looks like you would be looking at next week for delivery. I know its frustrating
