Hey, I was asked by a fellow cosplayer to send this message out:
"Guinness World Record’s Gamer’s Edition will be attempting the ‘Largest gathering of Games characters’ on March 18, 10.30 for 11am at the Millenium Bridge, London and are looking for all cosplayers and gamers to come down and make Guinness World Record history!
Think you could be King of All Cosmos (Katamari Damacy), Master Chief (Halo) Dante (Devil May Cry) or Gabe Logan (Syphon Filter) then we want to see you there! Anime or Manga to World of Warcraft whatever you are into get dressed up and help break a record.
To register please e-mail:
gamesgathering@guinnessworldrecords.com
All characters will appear in the Guinness World Record Gamers Edition 2009 plus on the website as well as receiving a gift for their efforts!
The record attempt celebrates the inaugral Guinness World Record Gamer’s Edition that is on sale now and is bursting with new records, high score statistics and fascinating facts.
In addition Guinness World Records are also searching for the next new gaming record breaker to join the hallowed ranks of the book. Applicants are being encouraged to upload their scores on the Gamer’s Edition website,

So come on guys! I'm sure there are tons of you who love both computer games and cosplay! Lets set the record for gaming cosplay : D
Please let all of your friends know and any cosplayers who you think would be interested. I'll be giving this press release to the main website for news, but i wanted to give all you UK guys a heads up first.
I hope to see you all there. Be sure to register!
