Atomic playing in nationwide Guitar Hero 2 competition!

Be entertained this Tuesday as the ABC broadcasts a Guitar Hero 2 battle the likes of which will never be seen again.

As many of you must already be fully aware, here at Atomic HQ we collectively love Guitar Hero.

Said love has reverberated around our little industry for some time now, and we've had the opportunity to play other games journalists at various launches and parties. Not surprisingly, these events managed to bring out our respective competitive streaks.

It was inevitable that there was going to be some kind of showdown; a competition for bragging rights. But it was going to be up in the air until somebody came up with five W's. Those were provided by Janet Carr, producer of ABC2’s Good Game, in a fateful phone call.

What: Guitar Hero 2 Roffle Cup.
Why: To end the trash talking once and for all.
Who: Randolph “Turtlestack” Ramsay (Gamespot), Maurice “Chinride” Branscombe
(Hyper), Jeremy "Junglist" Ray (Good Game) and Yours "^Faldo^" Truly (Atomic).
Where: ABC Studios, Ultimo, Sydney.
When: For broadcast this Tuesday -- the 19th of June.

The Good Game crew have one almighty hell of a spectacle lined up for you all, and although we can't reveal the results, we can let you speculate. There are some Guitar Hero 2 articles that predate the filming of the Roffle Cup floating around this site that bookies might find useful.

I haven’t seen the footage yet; so I might look like a complete tool. That’s an added bonus for you all, as you might get to laugh at me as well as being (hopefully) entertained.

I'd appreciate it if you started moshing in front of your television and/or computer while I'm playing.

The season finale of Good Game airs at 8:30PM this Tuesday the 19th of June on ABC2 and is also available for download from the Good Game homepage. A best of season two episode airs at the same time the following week.
