According to MS, 'Xbox Vice President and Chief XNA Architect J Allard is so stoked about the launch of Xbox 360, we can't get him to put down the controller! He'll be taking on Xbox Live members on Tuesday, November 22-that's right, launch day. So when you get your Xbox 360 console home, jump on Xbox Live and challenge the man to two of our incredible launch titles: Project Gotham Racing 3 and Perfect Dark Zero.
He'll be playing on Xbox Live from 5:00-7:00 P.M. Eastern (2:00-4:00 P.M. Pacific). Take him on in PGR 3 the first hour, and PDZ the second hour. Look for the gamertag HiroProtagonist. Here's the challenge: You won't be able to find him by sending a friend request. The only way you'll get into this Game with Fame against him is to match into games.
If you beat him-and we're not gonna lie, it'll be tough to do-you will win some very exclusive schwag that we can't even tell you about yet.
If you get the chance to play J, we want to hear about it! Send us an email at xlmail@microsoft.com and let us know what happened. The subject line should be 'GWF J Allard.' Don't forget to include your gamertag and hometown!'
Now, whether this is a publicity stunt or MS is throwing a real challenge to the gamers is debatable. However, we would like to know your views on this. Personally, I think I shall be looking forward for a game with him. Afterall it is not everyday you get a chance to play with J Allard on the machine he designed!
