Avatars are the new cool
I want this little gangster in every game I will ever play for my Xbox 360. The Nintendorks will cry “Microsoft ripped off Miis!” till the Shiggy comes home, but I’m thinking these little peeps will be seeing way more action than their Wii counterparts.
It’s a joy to go online and see your friends hanging out playing Gears of War 2, literally gathered around the game’s box and waving you over to join them. Nintendo has done a pretty decent job of stuffing Miis into nearly every first-party title pumped out, so I’m hoping Microsoft follows suit and utilizes the Avatars as much as possible [when it makes sense of course, I wouldn't want to see my mini-Mark on the losing end of a chainsaw duel!]. It would be pretty cool if Rare issued an update for a few of their 360 titles that allowed your Avatars to be in game spectators. Growing up I was a huge fan of Rare’s titles including the Donkey Kong Country, Banjo-Kazooie and Conker series, so to be a part of their universe is awesome.
