We’ve been on the surface of Mass Effect‘s Mars, we’ve fought the ender dragons of Skyrim, but Minecraft‘s next Mash-Up Pack will take us to its biggest franchise yet. Minecraft: Halo Edition transforms the game into the popular FPS series, complete with needlers and energy swords. The pre-built world includes re-creations of classic multiplayer maps including Sandtrap, Valhalla and Blood Gulch.

Last month was a big month for the Xbox One, as Microsoft reported that April’s NPD Group results showed the Xbox One continuing to sit on top in life-to-date software sales. Driving these sales was a game that was not available on any other next-gen console, Titanfall. Popular XBLA title Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition finished fourth.

As usual, Xbox One did not come out on top in console sales, trailing behind Sony’s PlayStation 4. However, life-to-date the Xbox One has more cumulative software units sold than any other eighth generation home console. In its first six months on the market, the Xbox One sold over 76 percent more units than the Xbox 360 did during its debut. Microsoft hopes that sales of the Xbox One will grow even faster with the release of the $399 Kinect-less version releasing on June 9.

The sandbox just got a bit smaller. The indie hit Minecraft has sold more than 12 million units on Xbox 360. The incredible cubic sandbox survival game is as popular as ever and amazing creations are popping up all over the map. A major factor in Xbox 360 Minecraft creations is that items can not be edited in mass like they can on the PC. This means the builders must do everything block by block, making the task of building a bit more tedious. When asked what the most amazing creation he has seen on the Xbox version of Minecraft was, Mojang’s Daniel Kaplan pointed out the amazing video below. Enjoy!
