As we shamble ever nearer to Left 4 Dead 2's release date, the information is flying thick and fast. Yesterday, it was discovered that Avatar Awards would be a part of the Xbox 360 version, allowing players to kit their soulless little Xbox Live imps with frying pans, medkits and shirts. Now there are pictures. Let's look at them!
These screens come courtesy of Official Xbox Magazine, and they look pretty snazzy if you're into that sort of thing. This is definitely better than the whole idea of spending actual money on pretend Avatar clothes, in any case, and I'd be tempted to nab a Medkit at the very least.
What about you? Gunning for any of these Awards, or does anything Avatar-related make you sick into a bag?

That being said...GNOOOOOOOME
But I'd love to just get the medkit, because its sweet and free and would be a cool "I killed so-and-so many zombies" trophy.
This is how it should be for all games. Free avatar awards that you can put on that show your spectacular achievements. Like say beating fallout3 + all the expansions you get a Liberty Prime toy or Laser Pistol. Or beating halo 3 on legendary or getting all the meta-game achievements gets you a energy sword or whatever. Beating Bishock without harvesting any little sisters gets you a good-like plasmid like telekinesis, while harvesting every single one gets you Inferno/Shock. Getting 100 straight wins on sf4 on live gets you boxing gloves or fist wraps.
It'd be such a cool way to show achievements off outside your gamerscore.
I'm glad to see developers finally using this feature cause there was no way I'd pay for fake clothing with real money!
