Summer blockbuster films still thrill us at Co-Optimus Towers, but the tie in games rarely do. Thankfully, Marvel have not gone down the Guardians of the Galaxy: The Video Game route, but are instead piggybacking on the successful Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition with a new Skin Pack.
Since the massive popularity of Minecraft is still there, Microsoft has kept up with rolling out the Skin Packs for Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition! Today, players can purchase the 6th Skin Pack DLC from the online storefront.
I wonder if anybody at Mojang was actually opposed to putting Minecraft out on consoles. After all, there is less customization, the patches are released at a much slower rate, and the worlds are slightly less infinite than their PC counterparts.

The pack includes Halo style texture sets as well as a new look for certain items. 40 character skins are also included, and it comes with a world directly inspired by the Halo franchise, recreating familiar locations such as Blood Gulch, Valhalla, and Sandtrap.
Following April's "oops we broke it now things should be fixed" Update 15, May's Update 16 can finally resume the long process of catching Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition up with the PC version of the game. Or... it could fix some other broken things, either way is fine.
Borderlands 2 has gone mobile. Gamers can now take their epic adventure into Pandora with them wherever they go on Sony's Vita. But that's not the only big co-op franchise making its way to a Sony platform this week.
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition turns two this week, after selling over 12 million copies. Console exclusive gamers have had two years to construct their dream homes, only to fight off waves of exploding jerks who wish to turn their elaborate palaces into smoldering craters.
