Gears of War: Judgement includes download of original GOW

GAME, Tesco, ShopTo get pre-order bonuses.

New copies of Gears of War: Judgement will include a download code for the original Gears of War, publisher Microsoft has announced.

The offer is limited to "initial launch quantities" of the game, Microsoft said, and was inspired by research which suggested less than half of Gears 3 players had played the series opener.

Pre-order the game and you'll get the Classic Hammerburst weapon, plus an exclusive multiplayer skin at participating retailers.

GAME customers get Emergence Day Marcus, Tesco shoppers get Emergence Day Dom, ShopTo folk get Alex Brand and "other select retailers" will give away Anya (Gears of War 3).

New footage lies below, showcasing the game's tough Declassified Missions and smart spawn system:
