This weekend marked the first ever Iron-Man Gaming Competition presented by Video Gamers League and creators Handsome Tom and Stuttering Craig of ScrewAttack.comin Dallas, Texas. Eighty contestants competed in six different games (Sonic the Hedgehog, Pac-Man: Championship Edition, Street Fighter 2: Hyper Fighting, Madden '08, Dead or Alive 4 and Halo 2) over three days, but ultimately only one would reign supreme as the Iron-Man of Gaming. The big winner was Chris "Kumachine" Delp who took home the massive Iron-Man belt and a thousand dollars cash and dedicated the victory to his hometown of New Orleans and the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Second place was taken by Louis "Big Lou" Hughes who took home a slightly less exciting prize; a women's tennis championship trophy wrapped in a broken third party PlayStation controller. Stay tuned for details on the next Iron-man of Gaming Competition coming next year.
