Back in the early '90s I was a Sensible Soccer God – Amiga version, Competition Pro joysticks, of course – and would definitely have beaten you if we'd played. Oddly I'm pretty rubbish on the 360 version but I'm blaming the pad. Anyway, back then – and we're talking what, 92-96ish? – the Guinness World Records people weren't really bothered about gaming. Shame really as I could have easily set a record for "most SWOS after-touch goals scored by Matt Le Tissier in one season" (42). Or maybe "longest continuous SWOS session without sleep" (14 hours). Happy days.
Anyway, Guinness World Records have realised the error of their ways and are looking for gamers to create and set ten new records at this year's GameCity event. If you can, I don't know, complete GTA IV in 3 minutes or score 20million on Geometry Wars 2 then you'll probably stand a good chance of setting a new record. Personally I'm thinking about creating and setting the "Too Human pad survival record" - I'm about 30 hours in and have still, just, managed to resist smashing the pad as the unskippable death sequence plays out for the 98th time...
So, expert at Street Fighter 2? Super quick at Brain Training? What gaming record could you set?
