Guitar Hero III Guinness record holder wins tournament, beats previous record
Chris Chike, currently the Guinness world record holder for points in Guitar Hero III, won the Play N Trade GHIII tournament last weekend and bested his record-setting score. Chike's Guinness score was 870,647 (seen in video above) before he won the tournament, along with $2000 of in-store credit, with 889,256 points. The best part of this story is that Chike actually drove two hours to compete at the Play N Trade store in Bloomington, Minnesota. Guess when you're the world record holder the trip seems worth it, considering you've probably got the win in the bag. Chike says he still hasn't done as well at any tournament event than he's done at home. The good thing about tournaments and competition is you only have to be better than second place.

This Saturday, video game retailer Play N Trade is holding a Guitar Hero III tournament with a national grand prize of $2000 (in store credit). Competitors should check if their local store is participating in the tournament and confirm the time matches start. Entry fee is $10 beforehand or $15 on the day of the event.Players will compete by single elimination in best 2 out of 3 matches. The top player from each store then plays Through the Fire and Flames on Expert and their score is sent in to determine a national champion on March 17 for the aforementioned $2000. Second place national winner receives a PS3, GH3 bundle and $500 in store credit; third place receives a GH3 bundle and $200 in store credit. Depending on how confident players feel in their TtFaF skills, this could either be a sure bet or an exercise in futility.
