A new Game with Fame initiative is on the offing over at Microsoft, the platform holder giving Live gamers that chance to duke it out with TV presenter Vernon Kay. Kay will be taking on players in bouts of Call of Duty: World at War.

The UK TV stalwart, a self-confessed games afficionado, will be joined during the play session by a special guest - although we don't know who.

The fun will take place on Wednesday the 18th of March, at 7pm GMT, and you'll need to send an email in order to get the chance to blow up Vernon.

So, all you need to do is send a message to vernon@gamewithfame.net, detailing your name, age and gamertag. You'll also need to make sure you're next Wednesday night, of course.
