In London earlier today it was announced by Intel that they will be launching a gaming tour of the UK, which will allow customers at PC World stores to challenge members of the 4Kings Painkiller squad.


The players in the Painkiller team have travelled all across the world to compete in fierce tournaments with a lot of the other top players on the globe. Now it's time for them to travel across the UK - and play against you!
The PC World tour will have the 4Kings members playing on desktop computers built around the Intel® Pentium® D processor with Intel® 945G Express Chipset. This new technology has only been around for a few months, and makes the gaming experience absolutely amazing - with stunning graphics, and perfect sound quality.
Along with being able to play against the 4Kings members, PC World customers will also have a chance to win one of 50 Intel® dual-core processors and motherboards, as well as a few other fantastic prizes.
