The game looks great and given the recommendation here I think I'd go ahead and buy it.

Is it available at retail?

I've heard that it's available for retail at Gamestop and Circuit City, yes. Then you'll have to deal with the DRM it carries, though. The downloadable version doesn't have that. GamersGate sounds the better deal for me: You can install it on up to three separate computers, and on others if you deinstall it again somewhere. The online check is only during installation, not while playing. The only problem is that you'll have to download, at least once, but you can reuse the same files again for the other installations, too.

Thanks for the tip lch. Gamer's gate does indeed seem to be the better deal. The three installation limitation doesn't pose an issue since I only have two machines. Can I D/L installation files, then burn them to disk so that I don't need to be online for subsequent install?

It isn't visible in the menu of their program, I think, but yes, if you copy the downloaded installation files somewhere else then they're reusable. The only thing that their installer then redownloads again is the setup.exe.

I can't install the demo.
