Minecraft Xbox 360 Skin Pack 5 Gets 4 More Selections; Call of Duty: Ghosts Tease Multiplayer; Disney Infinity Details
If you thought the three recently announced casts are already big enough for the Minecraft Xbox 360 Skin Pack 5, think again--there's a lot more coming your way, and by a lot, it means an entire bevy of cast from different games, starting with Soldier Skins.
Part of the Soldier Skins includes Cat-Eared Girl, Flower Girl, U.S. Airborne Soldier, British Soldier, Russian Soldier, British Paratrooper, Imperial Japanese Soldier, German Captain, German Sergeant, and German Soldier.
The Soldier Skins will be joining the previously announced The Walking Dead cast, Dead Space, and Borderlands 2.
Just recently, 4J Studios also announced via Twitter that Far Cry 3 will also be heading to the Skin Pack 5, giving you Vaas, Jason, and Rex Power Colt.
In addition, a retweet from 4J Studios also announced another delayed game, which you can now enjoy with the Skin Pack 5: "#RaymanLegends characters are making their #Minecraft Xbox 360 debut tomorrow!
At Play XBLA, Microsoft listed more of the additional casts that have not yet detailed in 4J Studios' Twitter.
The other characters for the Skin Pack 5 include Aveline de Grandpré, Nikolai Orelov, and Edward Kenway, from the different installments of Assassin's Creed, Rayman, Globox, and Barbera of Rayman Legends, and Sam Fisher x2 for Splinter Cell Blacklist.
There's even an addition of the Mooshroom Suit, Pig Suit, Dragon Suit, Black Cat Man, Ginger Cat Man, Ocelot Man, Rock Man, and Grass Man.
That's a total of eight different selections for the Skin Pack 5, which 4J Studios has announced will be made available starting 10a.m. U.K time, though it has warned that it may take some time in rolling out to the rest of the world.

Call of Duty: Ghosts multiplayer to be revealed in August
Infinity Ward's shooter-strategy game is still an entire quarter away from release, but those who are looking forward to Call of Duty: Ghosts' multiplayer mode, you can stick around until August 14 to get a sneak peek.
According to GameSpot, the multiplayer mode will be revealed at a Los Angeles event on August 14 at 10:30 a.m. PDT.
There have been previous teaser surrounding the multiplayer maps, most of which feature destructible environments, dynamic elements and conditions, character customization capabilities, and real-time outcomes and events.
It would be nice to see these all in action come August, as many fans who have been looking forward to the game still have many months of waiting before Call of Duty: Ghosts hits the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U hit on November 5. The next-gen versions are still in development, but Microsoft will have a timed-exclusive release for both iterations of consoles.
Disney Infinity brings power discs
This August, Disney Infinity will be launching, and at launch, 20 power discs will be available for sale.
The discs will have in-game feature, and will come in two shapes: the circular discs will have power-ups for the Play Set and Toy Box modes and the hexagonal discs will have unlockables.
The catch here is that you don't know which character you could be getting, you could have a clue, as Joystiq lists which characters are going into the circular discs and which will be in the hexagonal discs.
The circular discs contain Bolt's Super Strength with 10% damage boost, CHROME's Armor Shield for 10% less damage taken, Pieces of Eight for 10% more loot, and Fix it Felix's Repair Power with 20% more health.
There will be unlockable items for the hexagonal discs, including vehicles like Cinderella's coach and Mickey's car, Alice in Wonderland, Tangled, and Finding Nemo sets, all o be used for Toy Box mode.
There are also three rare discs that contain lenticular designs, featuring Dumbo Disneyland ride, the Astro Blaster from Buzz Lightyear's theme park attraction, and the elephant version of Abu from Aladdin.
Starting August 18, you can buy two packs for $5, but the catch here is that you won't know what you'll be getting until you open them.
