MCX360 Dominates - Halloween Charity Skin Pack on Xbox - News

Ah, Halloween - the season of monsters, costumes, and candy.

And more candy.

MCX360 recently knocked Modern Warfare 3 off the top of the Most Played game of the week, to utterly dominate the 360 Live Arcade charts! What could be cooler than that, you ask? How about a massive skins pack for your copy of MCX360?

To kick of the Halloween season right, Mojang is releasing a very special Halloween Skin Pack for MCX360 - all proceeds from purchased skin packs will go charity! The Skin Pack is 160 points (approximately $2.00), and every single point of that will go to good causes!

Skin creators for the pack include a number of different companies and artists, such as Rare (known relatively recently for the Kinect Sports titles, or if you grew up in the Stone Age like I did, Donkey Kong Country on the SNES). All told, there are about 55 skins in this pack - that's right, 55 unique, custom Minecraft skins, for less than the cost of a soda! That's a pretty sweet deal, and you get to help out some pretty sweet charities, too. Neat!

Cool, but 2 bucks is a bit expensive for 5 skins.

EDIT: Never mind it said 55 skins, lol sorry. I was looking at the picture and saw $2.00

Cool skins we got here.

But I thought Rare worked on Kinect Sports, not Wii Sports.

Rare didn't develop Wii Sports. Wii Sports was developed and published by Nintendo. Rare are currently making the Kinnect Sports games though, as they are owned by Microsoft.

What you're saying is, that you couldn't wait to come home, buy this pack, try out all the 55 skins, and then realize that you spend 95% of the time "NOT" looking at your character, but the world around you? Doesn't it feel strange somehow?

When I see the one visible eye on that mummy skin, I just think of Ross of HATfilms, and imagine a beautiful pixelbeard underneath those ancient bandages.

Rare is also known for, if you grew up in the bronze age, as I did, Banjo Kazooie and Conker's Bad Fur Day.

(CBFD: best. game. ever. )

The Grim Reaper skin by Rare is so cool, and when you hold an iron hoe in your hand, it pretty much looks exatly like a scythe.

I noticed a skin in the image has transparent legs, does the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft support transparent skins?

It does, sadly unlike PC/Mac Minecraft. But in minecraft, they don't want skinless players to run around and cause chaos. EVEN THOUGH they could do so many things to allow tranparency and not let them break the game.

Wow, It never even crossed my mind about people wearing entirely blank skins. I understand the reasoning now. And as far as the Xbox version. I think the reason they allow it is player count is much smaller compared to Minecraft PC/Mac. No large servers, you're able to easily control who's playing on your map rather than countless noobs joining. Thanks for the response, and have a nice day.

Pretty neat stuff we got here, I mean - MineCraft evolved so fast as to get more popular than Call Of Duty, and that game doesn't even deserve it's right to have players on it. Anyways, I like how you guys teamed with Rare - although they used to be on Nintendo's side, they still do a great job at making skins come true! I wish to get this pack very soon, as soon as I get more money.

Ok it's nice that the proceeds are going to charity, but it's still stupid you have to pay to use skins in the 360 version.

No, the reason they can have transparent skins is because you can't use custom skins.

YES! but in 3rd person view! very unique skins id say, its always fun to be into character if your into the role playing! I personally tried every skin in 3rd person and felt which skin for Halloween id love to be in, of course i couldn't really choose just yet with such a great variety <3 (+) To all who helped make them!
