GAME has announced another wave of store lock-in events, this time starring Epic and People Can Fly's Gears of War: Judgment. Did you attend any of the Dead Space 3 events from last month? Are you willing to sacrifice your recreational hours once again?
The game's out on 22nd March, and the first lock-in kicks off on 2rd February, so that's a whole month and a half you'll have over those feckless fools who settle for playing Judgment on release day. To register, send the store in question a tweet or sign up in person. You'll need to be 18 years of age or older - plunging underslung chainsaws into rampaging mutants is Grown-Up Fun.
The Gears of War: Judgment lock-ins will take place at 14 stores in total throughout February. Dates, times and locations are below:
- 3rd February 2013: Glasgow The Fort - 6.30pm
- 4th February 2013: Teeside - 8.30pm
- 6th February 2013: Hull Prospect Centre - 6pm
- 9th February 2013: Manchester Arndale Centre - 8.30pm
- 10th February 2013: Leeds Headrow Centre - 6pm
- 13th February 2013: Sheffield Fargate - 6pm
- 15th February 2013: Cardiff - 8.30pm
- 16th February 2013: Nottingham (Victoria) - 6pm
- 17th February 2013: Solihull - 5pm
- 18th February 2013: Norwich - 6pm
- 20th February 2013: Dudley (Merry Hill) - 9.30pm

- 25th February 2013: Kingston - 6.30pm
- 27th February 2013: Bristol (Cribbs Causeway) - 9.30pm
New to Judgment? Read our enormous hands-on. Incidentally, first one to complain about the Americanised spelling gets a rueful nod and an exasperated poke in the shoulder. We don't get to name these games, pedants.

Just goes to show, that just as with the previous lock-in, that people in the South-West (i.e. Devon and Cornwall) - don't play video games!

pft, only one in the south (and anyway near me) is Portsmouth, and I'm not going there just to try a game I might not even like.
Both my local Game stores are probably too small to hold gaming nights, be good if they did though.

Well considering that 1 person showed up for the Dead Space 3 event in the Sheffield Meadowhall store and they had 1 demo pod to play on its no surprise that the GOW lock in was shifted to the Sheffield Fargate store.
Know whhat will make these lock ins better ?
More demo pods (you cant demo GOW judgment with 1 pod, you need several. Maybe even go so far as a proper MP setup)
Bigger dev and/or pub presence
Freebies
MORE ADVERTISING. FFS GAME put something out there to tell people about the lockins, god knows the staff arnt doing it.
