Which game character do you want as an Avatar? OXM's readers list their favourites.
Microsoft Studios are giving gamers the world over the opportunity to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Xbox brand with a free Xbox LIVE Avatar Prop. Available to download now, the unique Avatar Prop may not be what you’re expecting.
Joystiq writes: We're always vaguely shocked when something genuinely awesome happens on the Avatar Marketplace, since the very idea of paying for promotional items for the little you on your Dashboard seems to negate awesomeness.
But there it is. Robocop avatar items, promoting nothing, apropos of nothing and available, as far as we can tell, just in case people want Robocop suits, OCP t-shirts, or little ED-209 pets. Something about the randomness of it -- "hey, here's Avatar stuff from that one movie from 1987!" -- is appealing.
Did you think our Dead Island: Secret Origins webseries would be GR’s only contribution to film? NAY! Avatar Kinect just dropped onto Xbox Live, and quite frankly, it makes all the work Tinsel Town puts into its productions look unnecessary and embarrassing. Avatar Kinect is capable of tracking you and your buddies’ real-time arm movements, facial expressions, and even lets you UNLEASH BIRTHDAY CONFETTI AT ANY TIME! Pull out the popcorn for this highly unorthodox preview…
Holy crap, were they trying to get the Kinect to screw up the tracking of their arms? They were all over the place.
Those movies deserve better than to be messed with by something like Avatar Kinect, honestly that was terrible
