One thing we here at SI Radio love about the 360 is the Avatars. Call it cheesy if you will, or even a rip off of Nintendo's "Wii-ple" (pronounced like people) but we just can't get enough of it. The good news for those of us out there who spend all that time perfecting their avatar is that now we can have a little bit of fun with our outfits.

Cliff Bleszenski and Rod Fergusson of Epic Games’ unveiled new Gears of War armor for our XBOX 360 Avatars which will be released later this year (possibly as a running campaing for Gears 3?). The new armor is a bit of a cartooney recreation but I think we'll see plenty of people wearing it as they trudge through rounds of 1 vs 100. The Locust style armor is also pictured below.
