If you can get your bottom to London on 19th February, you can meet the stars of BioWare, Crytek and Slightly Mad studios - and play their games.

The inaugural Guardian Gamesblog Live event invites Dragon Age 2 lead designer Mike Laidlaw, Crysis 2 executive producer Nathan Camarillo and Shift 2: Unleashed lead designer Andy Tudor for a day of presentations, hands-on gameplay and audience mingling.

Tickets cost £12, and the event takes place at the Guardian News & Media building on Kings Place, 90 York Way in London. Postcode is N1 9GU.

The Gamesblog Live event gets underway at 10.30am and finishes at 5.45pm with a break for lunch - a developer creates on its stomach, you know.

The Guardian's videogame correspondent Keith Stuart will host, perhaps wearing a provocative, jubilant ensemble, perhaps not.

It's bloody Dragon Age 2.
