Adding to the array of Halo and Marvel skins this September will be the blocky debut of none other than the Doctor. Not Dr. House, the other one.
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.

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.

With over 12 million copies sold, people must've been logging in countless hours into Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition.

Playing on a Minecraft file for a while makes that cubical world feel a lot like home, which makes it so hard to put it to bed.
