PAX has revealed the 20 randomly selected contestants for the Omegathon competition. Over the course of PAX 09, the contestants will be battling it out in six games:
- ROUND 1: Mario Kart ® Wii
- ROUND 2: Bookworm ® Adventures
- ROUND 3: Halo 3: ODST
- ROUND 4: (a rhythm game)
- ROUND 5: CONNECT FOUR
- FINAL ROUND: ???????
That's a pretty nice line-up of games! It's also interesting that Halo 3: ODST will be part of the competition since it looks like Bungie won't be at PAX this year.
The grand prize winner will receive a trip to attend this year’s Tokyo Game Show plus $5,000 in spending money. Hit the break to see the lucky people that will be participating in this year’s tournament.

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

Also, couldn't Bungie be displayed under Microsoft's banner, just like Gearbox is most likely going to be promoted under 2K's moniker?
EVER.
With a name like that, he can't not win!
