Xbox Live Avatars get Darksiders gear photo

Fans of Darksiders rejoice! Microsoft's innovative and unique Avatar characters now have clothing and items based on Vigil's excellent action-adventure game. If you want to spend your hard-earned money on a fake horse head for fake people who do absolutely nothing of value, then this is a real treat for you. 

Your Avatars can now dress up like War himself or wear a mask of his faithful horse, Ruin. Demon and angel helmets and a number of logo-adorned T-shirts are also available, for the lovely price of "More than free," which is too expensive. Anyway, go download those if you're a f*cking idiot.

Oh god no.

Actually, I say we dress Jim up in this crap and then parade him around. HAHA, I'm a genius!

I would actually really like to have a Darksiders premium theme.

I don't see how this I'd any different from buying a game/band tshirt from your local gamestore/that gig you went to.
You guy are going to end up with ulcers if you don't chill the fuck out.

Design fail. War armor should be ridiculously bulky, to better match the source material.

The industry is so damn retarded, they make you pay for this (which i doubt only a few autists or two digit IQ people do) when the promotional value for the game by giving them for free would be huge, but to be fair this is nothing more than MS and their greed's effect as usual.

I like the way you think.

Well, look at it this way.....
I've got a few gears of war figurines, they don't do a bloody thing but people see them and think they are cool and I feel like I'm supporting the franchise (distributors and all) by buying them.
And to be fair this very website has haf a comp this week giving out a totally useless (but seriously cool) fake sword that does jack shit.

"He's on fire!"

Not to mention the very author of this article bought an Aliens themed axe that he presumably won't use for anything but looking cool!

You go boy.

Just logic my friends, the beautiful application of logic. Something clearly missing from the derogatory article above.

To be honest I think these would be great additions if there were games we could use them in. Playing Band of Bugs as War is pretty cool, but not worth going out of my way to purchase it.

How could anyone not want a horse's head on their avatar?
Sigh, I fear some of you are truly dead inside. What is happening in the rest of your life to be that jaded?
Well, I'm off to have a 'tar with a horses head and pom poms. Just because. Somehow, someway I will manage to carry on in life having wasted five dollars (or whatever the price will be).

@ mrandydixon - Well,it's Bakewell, so more like logic brownies. Explosive ones.

I've never bought Avatar clothes myself, but Bakewell's actually changed my mind on them.

Because you don't take your t-shirt home and put it on a stupid doll that no one will ever see. Buying virtual cloths for a virtual doll is just stupid. I'll never do it, but if other people want to do it that's fine, good for them. But I'll still call them all retarded for doing it every single time!

Why aren't these Avatar unlocks included on the game? I still think that those are the best idea ever. First, it gives some people more incentive to get the game. Second, my avatar is patrolling around with the Left4Dead 2 zombie hand shirt, advertising the game to all my friends. It's two for one and you can't lose.
Buying this stuff is stupid, and people who do buy it are total tools.

Also, Jim Sterling's recent posts to Dtoid have become more increasingly hostile by the day. I think we all need to chip in and buy him a male hooker to help chill him out.

No, but YOU yourself will see it, which is enough for some of us. Are you saying that you only buy things to impress other people?

"Hey Kids!, now YOU TOO can make your avatar appear to be wearing reject designs for Altair's armor or JRPG main character #1532552's garb.


At least it looks in no way resembles that icky Darksiders guy..."
