More DLC Skins Revealed for Minecraft 360 – Gears and Fable Make Appearance

More DLC Skins Revealed for Minecraft 360 – Gears and Fable Make Appearance

While it seems that the Xbox edition of Minecraft is always playing catch up, I can’t help but get just as exited over every update and every little bit of new content added as I did when playing on the PC. Owners of Minecraft 360 (as I like to refer to it as) are awaiting the release of the 1.7.3 update which will bring about shears, pistons and many bug fixes among other things.

Most notably though will be the option to customise the skin of your character thanks to a handy skin DLC pack planned for release along side the update. The price of the pack has not yet been stated but we do know that it will contain 40 skins including a King, a Creeper, Splosion Man, Covenant Grunt and Trials Man.

Five more skins have also recently been unveiled. The newcomers include: Ms Splosion Man, Clayton Carmine (Gears of War), Banjo (Banjo and Kazooie), Jack of Blades (Fable) and a prisoner.

What’s the deal with The Gunstringer? What else are they up to?

Ms. Splosion Man – The Verdict

Ms. Splosion Man – The Verdict

I openly admit that I have quite the soft spot for Twisted Pixel. Since 2009, they’ve released a handful of games over Xbox Live Arcade that have not only proven that the Texas based developer has an indisputable aptitude for creating inventive and laugh-out-loud funny games, but also that it’s possible for an entertaining and worthwhile game to be developed on a small budget; a mega-franchise like Call of Duty might pull billions of dollars in Activision’s direction with its’ annual non-stop onslaught of massive explosions and Hollywood flair, but Twisted Pixel understands that less is more and The Maw, ‘Splosion Man and Comic Jumper: The Adventures of Captain Smiley have all certainly benefited from that intimate touch which is only possible from having a mere eleven people on your team. Ms. Splosion Man is Twisted Pixel’s latest labour of love and aptly continues its’ trend of churning out endearingly comical and unique games.
