I'm wanting to get both Ultimate Card Games (UCG) and Ultimate Brain Games (UBG). Apparently no websites are eager to review UCG, which was released today. UBG doesn't come out til November unfortunately as long as it's not delayed like UCG. Come on best buy, put them on your website please

Personally, I'm waiting for Clubhouse Games. From IGN, it has:
Old Maid, Spit, I Doubt It, Sevens, Memory, Pig, Blackjack, Hearts, Rummy, Last Card, Last Card Plus, President, Five Card Draw, Texas Hold Em, Nap, Spades, Contact Bridge, Hasami Shogi, Turncoat, Chinese Checkers, Checkers, Dots & Boxes, Backgammon, Chess, Connect Five, Grid Attack, Koi-Koi, Soda Shake, Dominoes, Bowling, Darts, Billiards, Balance, Take Over, Solitaire, Escape, and Mahjong Solitaire.
All this + WFC = Some good times I think

Amazon says in stock soon.

IGN says it was supposed to be released yesterday.
I would go the Clubhouse Games route but it doesn't have euchre so it's a no go.
Gamespot says Q1 2007 for UCG. I can't understand that. It was supposed to come out in 2005. How hard is it to make a freakin card game? It's not rocket science.

i wouldn't put too much stock in either of those sites...
IGN has some games that i own listed as canceled, and other games that have been confirmed to be canceled still listed with old release dates... since they have to keep up with ALL systems, and other stuff, i've found they're rarely an expert in anything.
and i've purchased games on amazon that were listed as "now shipping" and afterward they canceled my order and said the game was canceled... so why was it listed as shipping?
IGN and amazon are two VERY unreliable resources.
trust me. it's not really out. and making it is oftentimes the easy part. for all we know, the game is finished. there's a lot of red tape that goes into manufacturing copies, getting those copies to retailers, etc. so while it might not be rocket science to make the thing, it can become a political fight getting it to the consumers.

Getting it to consumers shouldn't be rocket science either. They've done games before, they should know how to get another one out. You would think they could get all the politics settled during the year or 2 they were making the game.
IGN and Amazon have usually been right about the games I've checked. Maybe they miss a few here and there but I wouldn't call that unreliable.

I've already accepted that it isn't released yet. I was only disagreeing with the other poster that those sites are unreliable when it comes to release dates.
The only thing we know for sure is that the game has had very poor coverage from online gaming sites. It's also insane that they keep pushing a card game back.
