Gadgets and gizmos

Gadgets & Gizmos will be visiting this year’s Gadget Show Live at the Birmingham NEC, but what kind of thing is likely to attract our attention there?

Probably everything to be honest, but if you want us to narrow it down a bit we would plump for the GAME stand.

Here we are going to be savouring a true world premiere as we look at the Xbox 360 running the LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean game from Disney Interactive Studios. The release date for the game is May but we hope to sweet talk the GAME guys into giving us an early chance to play it.

The Gadget Show Live is going to run from the 13th of April until the 17th of April, so there will be plenty of time for us to check out other stands as well. For instance, the beta version of Gears of War 3 will be getting unveiled by Microsoft in the Game Zone. Rumours have it that we will be getting the chance to get stuck in on the Team Deathmatch mode.

The official figures say that over 80,000 tickets have been sold this year’s Gadget Show Live. It is going to be a cracking event and the list of companies with stands includes the likes of Currys / PC World, E-Lifestylebikes. iRobot and Flying Gadgets. There is going to be a lot to do and see and we can’t wait for it to start. Will you be going to it too or do you wish you could?
