Match Made in Hell hits Tinseltown and New England
The Gears of War Emergence Day hype onslaught continues, this time with two more big Match Made in Hell events. One event will take place in Los Angeles and another event for fans in/around New England, both happening at the end of October.
In Los Angeles, Microsoft Game Studios and Epic Games will be putting on a huge launch party at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Thursday, October 26 at 12:01 AM. Here are some details of the event from the press release:
Thrown by Microsoft Game Studios in advance of the title’s Nov. 12 release, this exclusive event will be hosted by members of the “Gears of War” development team, including Lead Designer Cliff Bleszinski. In keeping with the bone-chilling theme, developers, industry luminaries and Tinseltown’s hottest young talent will be mixing and mingling in a real mausoleum, at the famous Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles.
In New England, the event will take place at Six Flags New England (in Springfield, Massachusetts) and will be a Six Flags “Fright Night” event on Tuesday October 31st. You’ll get to play the game early, and also get to see a private mini Megadeth concert featuring the premiere of their new song “Gears of War.”
So you may ask, how would one get into these events? Well you have to register to win! You can enter at www.xbox.com/matchmadeinhell. Word is that those who entered to attend any other Match Made in Hell events have already been entered in the drawing I hear, but I would enter again anyways (I did!).
Also, it said that anyone who registers for the contests also get access to a free month of Xbox Live Gold service if you pre-order their copy of Gears of War through Gamestop, I also assume this includes EB Games but not sure at the moment. I’m also not sure if this is open to people who have already pre-registered early or not. Once I know more I’ll post it up here.
Good luck to everyone who enters! I hope to hear some of our readers report back if they got picked!
I got picked for the Hollywood event. Tommorrow night is going to be AMAZING!
ya i got pick for the england one but cant go sadly bummer!!:neutral:
I dont have time to write alot but I can tell you that after playing the game it will live up to its hype.
