Guinness record of longest game session set at 135 hours with Black Ops 2

The Guinness World Record for longest video game marathon was set by Australian Okan Kaya this week, after he played Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 for 135 hours over seven days.

Guinness rules allow for one ten-minute break every hour, which Kaya could bank and use in chunks. Yahoo's Plugged In reports the previous record was set by a Canadian pair playing the Resistance series for 120 hours.

Kaya was in good company with Call of Duty Black Ops 2, which set sales records when it earned $500 million on its first day at retail.
