Ready to rumble?

Continuing its push to make Xbox Live a hub of community gaming, Microsoft has launched the Irish Halo 2 championships to find the No.1 Master Chief in the country. Go register at the Xbox Ireland site and start fragging the hell out of everyone on the Rumble Pit map on Xbox Live.

There are some tasty prizes up for grabs, including a camcorder and (woohoo!) a plaque. Seeing as there are several similar championships running in parallel across Europe, it's a fair bet the overall winners might have a crack at challenging each other in a sort of Euro 2005 for Xbox.
