I'm having a heck of a time trying to find the below-listed games at any B&M stores. Am I the only one?

Blood Will Tell (I still haven't seen this at any store including Gamestop and EB)
Headhunter Redemption (same as above)
Spy Fiction (I've seen this once at one TRU - 1 copy of it)
CT Special Forces 2 (I've seen it at a couple of Gamestops)

Are there any others in particular that people are having trouble finding?
 
We have all of those at my Game Crazy (I work there)

Blood Will Tell is pretty average. REALLY cool concept but the gameplay is pretty average and not particularly cool (bosses were fun though)

Games that I think are going to be hard to find or already are:

Syberia II (Xbox)
Technic Beat (PS2)
Fatal Frame 2 (Xbox) just you wait
 
Man, you guys jumped on this topic.

Apparantly Guilty Gear X2 # Reloaded for Xbox was/is hard to find but I found it easily.

Cubivore and Gitaroo Man aren't new releases at all, though, so those don't really count.
 
Shoot, I'm already having a hard time finding Fatal Frame 2 for Xbox...

I've been looking for it since it released with no luck, I guess I'm just going to have to buy it online.

Yeah, I guess I didn't read the topic closely enough :oops:

as for newer games, I've only seen Katamari Damacy and Gungrave Overdose at one B&M store, luckily I already own both.
 
That reminds me, I got to pick up Syberia 2.

Gungrave OD and Guilty Gear X2 Reload were kind of hard to find for a while, but Circuit City began carrying both recently.

A couple more:

Serious Sam: Next Encounter (GC) - I've only seen it at Wal-Mart (where I bought it).
A Dog's Life - BB and CC both carry it but never in any quantity
Sitting Ducks - I've seen the PS2 version at CompUSa but I've yet to see the GBA version.
Choro Q - Is that even out yet?

I don't know. I think it's only $20.

I saw 1 whole copy at the 8 stores I hit today and I was this close to getting it, I decided to check reviews first. Seems like it is an average game, gets repetitive but it might be worth 15$ after GGC. It also looks to be a very good game for kids.

I've only seen it at my Best Buy. I think you're right, it's probably a very good titles for children.

Yep. Still waiting for GameCrazy to get the copy I preordered. Haven't seen it elsewhere, either. :(

I've played it. It's pretty fun and definately different. It's worth the $15.
 
Still haven't seen Katamari Damacy. Gamespot said there is a big demand for this title, but short-sighted retailers, assumed there wouldn't be much interest, and didn't order very many. Of course, it's been a few weeks, and it seems like there is significant demand, but they still don't have any copies in.
 
Let's see, out of the titles on this list, I've picked up the following:

Katmari Damacy - bought @ Gamestop, seen @ BB, CC & TRU, Gamestop & EB
Syberia II - bought @ Gamestop, seen at EB & Gamestop
Guilty Gear X2 #Reload - bought @ Gamestop, seen at TRU, EB & Gamestop
Cubivore - bought from VGD.com, never seen anywhere at a B&M, found online in a few spots
Serious Sam: The Next Encounter - bought @ Gamestop, seen online @ Gamestop, EB & Walmart, saw @ Walmart B&M
Fatal Frame II - bought @ EBGames, seen at Gamestop & EB

Seen the following, though didn't buy:
Sitting Ducks (PS2) - saw @ TRU
Headhunter: Redemption - seen @ Gamestop, EB, Newegg.com

ive played it and beat it....its pretty repetitive, but most games are IMO, so it wasn't too bothersome for me....i liked it, though i wouldn't pay more than $20 for it (which is what i paid at GS, because I couldn't find it any where else)
