I think that this is a GREAT idea. Cause i think avatars are not useful for the mature (21+) gamer. So keeping them exclusive in games geared toward younger audiences will keep me happy.

Agreed. It would be simply bizarre for these avatars to be popping up in M-rated games anyway.

It would be fun to mess up my avatars face in GTA. I would use Niko's full arsenal on it.

Avatars are incredibly stupid. Nobody would want to be seen playing Gears of War 2 with their avatar. Their ugliness demands that they be killed with fire and rocketed out to space.

O for f$cks sake! Here I was thinking I could shoot my avatar to death and watch its little cartoony ass bleed on the ground while I chainsaw another avatar.
DOH!
DOH!

Think about how disturbing it'd be to see a Mii-like avatar in a Gears of War game with a Lancer. That'd freak me out much more than a Locust..
..same with the Muppets.

I'm confused. How would an avatar integrate into these games? Would the avatar literally appear as a playable character in the games?

It could be incorporated in a number of ways, terrifying ways. But it would seem that they are going to keep it to board games and such. The Wii incorporated their Mii's into the actual game play, so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch for xbox to do it. I just don't wanna see it in my games. :)

Rats. I wanted to see an Avatar being blown to blood bits in Left 4 Dead. Or have Niko see a Gwen Stefani Avatar and have a little hot coffee with her.

No hot coffee avatar edition?

I know that AO games in general are just this side of theoretical but seriously the idea of an AO game that uses the Avatars sounds reeeeeallly interesting :)

I'm with the rest of you. I wanted to perform unspeakable, unholy and inhuman acts against my own Avatard or those belonging to and bearing the likeness of my friends and enemies.
This is officially Avatarded. And so help me MS, if I can't customize my Avatard to look like a 12 year old Malaysian boy... there will be Hell. Toupe.

i don't think there was any need for this, as anyone making a game rated teen+ would probably not think about having avatars used in game..

I guess I won't be seeing my avatar wielding a chainsaw any time soon.
