Coming less than a month after a series of Uncharted, Killzone and Heavy Rain skins made their way to the PS3 version of Minecraft, the Xbox 360 version has received a texture pack that will turn the game’s already-colorful world into the second coming of Candyland.

During the Microsoft press conference at E3 this summer it was announced that Minecraft would be coming exclusively to the Xbox 360 and that it would also support Kinect. The indie PC sensation which has dominated YouTube and sold more than 4 million units - while still in beta - has done nothing but continue to grow and today marks the game’s official launch. The launch means little other than dropping the “beta” status as the game will continue to grow and receive updates just as it has all along, but it is a milestone worth celebrating nonetheless....
Although some might claim that Mirror’s Edge 2 should have been made long ago, it’s seeming less and less like the publisher and developer were testing the markets, and more and more like they were simply waiting for the industry to catch up to their ideas. In an interview with IGN, EA Labels president Frank Gibeau voiced the optimism that has apparently surrounded the franchise internally for years. Although fans of the first Mirror’s Edge’s demands for a sequel seemed to be falling on deaf ears, Gibeau explains that Mirror’s Edge 2 being held until the next generation of consoles was no coincidence:...

Reilly explained why the football player stars in the first episode of the Showtime show. He said, “putting Kelce in there seems at first [like], ‘How absurd.

After his last 16 loss to Greek young gun Stefanos Tsitsipas in Melbourne last month, the Swiss 20-time Grand Slam champion was quick to brush aside suggestions it was the beginning of the end.

GORE: He didn’t create the Internet? Oh my God! [Laughs.] Eventually he’s going to declare his candidacy and then people are going to get to know him, and they’re going to get to know what he’s like and what he stands for and what his proposals for the future are. None of that has happened yet. The grumbling is because there’s a void out there that people are trying to fill....
It’s hard to imagine that, just one year ago, users celebrated the addition of mountable companions (horses and donkeys that could be ridden into battle) - since, in the subsequent time, Minecraft has opened its doors to a wide variety of branded content.

CP3 fractured his right thumb in the Suns’ last game against the Houston Rockets before the All-Star weekend. Although he made an appearance in the All-Star game, it was more of an honorary outing as he played only two minutes.

2011’s Mortal Kombat (or Mortal Kombat 9) was one such fighting game that eventually offered a choice between controller or fight stick, and its successor, Mortal Kombat X, appears to be doing the same thing, though with a slightly odd looking controller.
