A magazine dedicated to providing sophisticated PC gamers with reviews, previews, strategies, and a view of the culture that surrounds computer gaming, Computer Gaming World distributed 311,000 copies of "Dark Age of Camelot" in its first DVD cover disc. The January issue featuring the disc is now shipping to subscribers, and will be on newsstands nationwide by December 2. The "Dark Age of Camelot" trial disc allows one week of free access and features the latest version of the game that includes the Foundations housing expansion. The trial disc does not include Shrouded Isles or the recently-released Trials of Atlantis.
