GAME has announced that a number of its stores will be holding lock-in events throughout January which will allow attendees to try out Dead Space 3 before launch.

GAME has struck a deal with EA for its first round of lock-ins which allow players to play the game with drinks and snacks–not bad! 18 shops will be part of the initial trial and to get a place you will have to either sign up in store or tweet the relevant store your name.
