    It'll be a Halo-themed minigame collection to go with that rumored MS motion controller. Just you wait and see.

    They haven't released anything yet, so they've obviously been working on something for MS for a while... the results must have been good if MS bought them before we've even seen or heard anything about their game. Hopefully at least one new IP for E3 then :)

    @Kermad: They've not made a single game yet? I was just about to ask what they made to see if I should be excited or not. I guess it's better than nothing but I'll have to see if there games are to my taste later.


    Between this and the teases of Killer instinct 3, Lionheads 2 projects, the other halo project (I think there was meant to be one after halo wars and ODST) and whatever else props up I'm hoping for an interesting E3 event from MS.

    I remember seeing that game sitting on racks near the checkout at CompUSA and thinking about how retarded its title was.


    I agree with what he seems to be implying. It doesn't take a stroke of genius to figure out that having a customized avatar is something fun for players to toy with.

    This is an attempt to stop the "MS ripped off Nintendo Miis" mentality. Good luck with that. Say what you will about the avatar system, I personally think it's out of place on 360. 360 and Xbox before it was for core gamers. This smacks of me-too-itis and makes MS look desperate.


    Let the 360 stay true to what it's good at. This is like Obama saying we got it all wrong and didn't want to be president, he actually wanted to be a grand wizard of the Klan.

    Well, the only way to read OXM is to treat the whole mag as satire on games journalism, so this fits right in.


    (Except for their cell phone gaming adver-section that that takes up almost half of the magazine- that rocks!)

    As I see it, he wants to patent the idea so he can retire now.

    Anyway, I thought the term meant another visual representation for oneself, which doesn't need a 3d polygon version to do so, it can be done with a simple drawing.

    If anything, he probably made the first 3d model polygon figure, and just wants to label it as an avatar instead of a mesh.

    but seriously, it doesn't matter who invented what. All it comes down to is who does it right the first time. I don't care if you were the inventor of porn, those damn stick figures carved into a rock doesn't do it for me.
