Minecraft Xbox 360: DLC skins riff on Halo, Trials, XBLA at large

Update 1.7.3 offers serious Grunt

Details and screenshots of Minecraft Xbox 360's promised DLC skins have emerged, and they're a fruity bunch indeed. Forget dressing up as James Bond or a Swedish tennis champ - once the first pack goes live (no date yet, but July seems likely), you'll be able to drill through mountains in the garb of a Covenant Grunt, Trials biker or 'Splosion Man.

Skin functionality is due to be enabled alongside Minecraft Xbox 360 update 1.7.3, and the first pack will offer 40 skins. There's a free trial edition, the contents of which have yet to be revealed. Don't worry, co-op diehards - you won't have to change clothes if somebody else in your Minecraft session is wearing the same skin.

Check out the screenshots. Now that's a fresh look, playa. Here are eight forthcoming Minecraft features that will turn the game upside down.

    I'd rather some Viva Pinata loving myself or even Space Batman.

    I hope they add the option to lets us choose what costume we can wear from the base game one day. I'd actually like to use the suit more often.

  3. Master Chief is a given, Solid/Naked Snake (duh), Batman sounds good... but even these I just wouldn't pay for - it's like having to buy a camo for a gun with real money - gow3 style, it's just not worth it imo.

  4. needs Ash from Army of Darkness, aka Bruce Campbell

  5. I second some superhero skins and also that depending on what's on offer might not be worth it.If they are giving you some free ones anyway,might just stick with them.No biggie for me straight away anyway as i can't play online and i hardly look at my character SP,i always have FP mode.

  6. can you get spider man
    :D
