It's been a long time since the Guinness Book of World records has recorded video game high scores in it's pages, twenty years in fact. But, with consoles and portables appearing in more an more homes every day, it only makes sense that the purveyors of the world's largest pizza and the tiniest body microbe would want to include game scores in the '07 version of their publication.

There's even a special section profiling Canadian Greg Sakundiak, the current world record holder for the number one high score in Dragon's Lair, Tag Team Wrestling, Twin Cobra and four other games. He also holds second and third place high scores in several other games. Interestingly, he's also a world champion arm wrestler. I guess all those years of joystick jockeying built him up some pretty big biceps.

So start working on your high scores, kids, and maybe next year, you'll end up in Guinness alongside that guy with the long curly fingernails. Flynn De Marco
