When Avatars were first announced, the question on every 360 gamer's lips was: "CAN I HAVE MY AVATAR THE BOMBERMANS!?" Well, that burning issue has finally been resolved, as Microsoft confirms that Bomberman Live will be one of the five XBLA titles to incorporate Avatars on the New Xbox Experience's November 19 launch.
Bomberman Live, UNO!, Hardwood Hearts and Hardwood Spades will use Avatars in their game menues and lobbies, while a fifth brand new XBLA game will have the dubious honor of being the first ever game to allow playable Avatars. My instincts tell me that this new game will be gimmicky shovelware designed for the sole purpose of incorporating Avatars, but I could be wrong.
In addition, an update will be available for Scene It? Box Office Smash on the NXE's launch date, allowing for Avatar use.
And aren't you all just super excited for that?

BHAW HA HA HA HA HA HA!
I don't get why the xbox needs them. The typical halo gamer isn't interested in that kinda stuff, if he was he would own a wii.
I don't get why microsoft can't focus on it's own marked

it's called bomberman not averbomb I want to see bombermen.
that is what they are hurting my eyes.
oh right because it's microsoft and they just want to jump on the hate train.
they never said you will play bomberman with your avatars, the article just states the avatars will be used in menus and lobbies.
