GEARS OF WAR 1 TO BE INCLUDED WITH JUDGMENT.

The 2006 original shooter is to be bundled with launch copies of the upcoming franchise entry in all regions, except from Germany.

Epic Games announced today that a download token for the 2006 original Gears of War will be included with launch copies of Gears of War: Judgment. The original Gears of War was not sold in Germany due to ratings restrictions and will not be a part of the promotion.

Epic Games also provided information on users' Gears of War habits. They noted that more than half of all buyers who played Gears of War 3 did not play the original.

So if you are planning on getting Gears of War: Judgement at some point, it may be in your best interest to buy it at the game's launch, so you can get your hands on a Digital Download of the franchise's primitive game.
