The Guinness World Records: Gamer’s Edition 2008 this week,  held a contest in New York City that pitted the planet’s top Guitar Hero players against each other. Winning the event was 16-year-old Chris Chike of Rochester, Minnesota, who captured the record for “Highest Score for a Single Song on Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock” by thrashing his way to a 97 percent completion rate and 840,647 points in DragonForce’s “Through the Fire and Flames” on expert difficulty.

The Guinness World Records: Gamer’s Edition is presided over by Twin Galaxies, subject of 2007’s critically acclaimed King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. Gamers who think they have a record on their hands are encouraged to visit Guinness World Record’s Web site to learn how to submit their score.
