Although the Adventure Update for Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition is the big update fans of the massively popular world-building adventure game are waiting for, it’s not the only new material players have to look forward to. PlayXBLA announced last week that Skin Pack 3 is coming soon.

The known skins, created by pixel artist Army of Trolls, appear to be monster-themed – fitting, given the season. Looks like fans can expect two zombies, a skeleton and…what appears to be a cow walking upright. The pack will add four skins to an already robust roster built up by the first two packs, which added looks based on Xbox favorites from games like Halo, Left 4 Dead, Castle Crashers, Trials Evolution and more. The release date and price point are currently unknown, but the first two packs each released for 160 MSP, so it’s a safe bet the third pack will release at a similar price.

UPDATE: PlayXBLA confirmed that the pack will release on October 19 for 160 MSP. Hit the jump for a skin list.

Worms: Revolution was developed by Team 17 and published by Warner Bros. Entertainment. It was released on October 11, 2012 for 1200 MSP. A copy was provided for review purposes.

Worms, Worms, Worms. The Xbox Live Marketplace has seen Worms, Worms 2: Armageddon and Worms: Ultimate Mayhem, and now we’ve got Worms: Revolution. That’s really quite a bit of Worms, it’s strange to imagine that the artillery shooter genre is in such high demand to warrant four Worms games all in one place. Since each of the games have been at least competent, enjoyable, playable iterations all more or less with the same problems, was there really space available for another Worms game? Worms: Revolution had no space to fit into, so instead Team 17 cut the fat, renovated the foundation of the game and built something grander, smoother, and far more polished than its precursors.

But it’s still a Worms game. It’s a Worms game with Worms problems and Worms humor and Worms entertainment and if that’s all well and good then get right on board the Revolution train, but for everyone else there’s a cache of new features to consider. Worms: Revolution adds a class and formation system, dynamic water, physics objects and several new utilities and weapons. There’s a lot going on in this Worms game, a lot of new things, all piled on top of a 17-year old foundation that still works. Well, it works for multiplayer, the AI still makes single player a chore. Read More
