The latest pack of skins to hit Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has arrived, bringing with it a host of characters from gaming’s biggest franchises. Available today for 160 MSP, Skin Pack 5 bundles likenesses from such heavy hitters as: Dead Space 3, The Walking Dead, Rayman Legends, Splinter Cell Blacklist, various Assassin’s Creed titles, Far Cry 3, Borderlands and Borderlands 2.

In addition, non-gaming related skins have been introduced. The history buffs out there will be able to break and build dressed in uniforms worn by the enlisted from World War 2. The classy bunch will find suit-sporting Minecraft staples like the pig, Mooshroom and the Ender Dragon. Alternatively you can go incognito dressed as a variety cats, or rock a rocked-themed suit.

Our favorite though, Sergeant Rex “Power” Colt from Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, lends his signature cybernetic look to the peaceful blocky biomes. You can preview every skin in the slideshow gallery, after the jump. If you see something you like, be sure to let us know in the comments below!
