Frag Dolls to attempt Vegas 2 record

Will play for 24 hours at i33.

Not content with getting them to write a blog and talk to the press sometimes, Ubisoft is now getting the Frag Dolls to attempt a 24-hour Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 multiplayer marathon on Xbox Live.

The attempt will be at i33, the LAN party event taking place at Newbury Racecourse from 21st to 24th March, and will begin at 10am on Saturday and "finish as and when there is no one left standing - literally!"

If successful, the Frag Dolls taking part - Jam, Kitt and Sarin - will go into the Guinness World Records: Gamer's Edition 2009.

You can even join in and encourage them, too, by sending Live friend requests to Jam FDUK, Kitt FDUK and Sarin FDUK up to 24 hours in advance. Providing you buy the game (hang on - perhaps this is what they are trying to encourage), you can then kill them "across all maps and modes".

We would normally point out that Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 is due out on 20th March for PS3 and 360, and 28th March for PC, but we feel too used to do this.

We will remind you that Ellie worked on the Guinness World Records: Gamer's Edition 2008 though, which probably explains all the typos.
