Wouldn't playing Bomberman with your avatar work, though? A bit more work than just icons in menus maybe, but still.

I suspect the "new" title is Uno-Rush or whatever it's called. the Uno sequel

I thought Microsoft specifically said you couldn't kill avatars in games so how the heck is the avatar being used in bomberman?

Im not whining. I just dont like the idea. Thats all. Seems like MS is desperate to reach out to the casual gamers out there. The 360 is the best console for the serious/hardcore gamers and they should stick to that market imo. Its the console for adults not 8 year old girls and 80 year old grandmas. We have the Wii to please them.

You are whining, and it's pathetic.

Explain to me how the inclusion of a little animated character in a handful of arcade games affects you? It doesnt, plain and simple.

Is your hardcore shooter #549 using Avatars? No.

Is your dusty racers #110 using Avatars? No.

Is your manly hack'n'slash warrior #320 using Avatars? No.


It's childish and pathetic to be so reactionary to something as inconsequential as an animated persona. Find something productive to do with your life.

I presume the new game is by Rare.

I think the key is "... to feature custom-animated avatars in the menus and lobbies." I.e. Not in game.

I really don't understand why anyone would have a problem with this. It simply allows you to use your avatar in games, if you don't want to, or don't like them, you don't have to. The 360 is still very much a "hardcore" console, just because they're trying to expand their audience doesn't change that.
