Best Use of Avatars - A Kingdom For Keflings

With the release of the New Xbox Experience, Microsoft introduced the gaming world to Avatars which only begged the question, "will we get to use our Avatars in games?" And while we'd like to see our Avatar friends shooting eachother's brains out in Call of Duty 4 or cruising Liberty City in GTAIV, we were only given XBLA games with Avatar integration. And the best example of said integration is Ninja Bee's A Kingdom For Keflings

A Kingdom For Keflings gives gamers the best use of Avatars for one simple reason: they're actually used as the player's in-game character. Most other games use Avatars to replace gamer pictures, but not Keflings. You control your unique Avatar and boss those little Keflings around all while donning a fohawk, leather pants and a monocle. Well done.
