Get your block on this week with the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft.
The ever-popular hit PC title Minecraft will headline Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade seasonal promotion, titled Arcade Next.
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition will debut on May 9, with a 1,600 Microsoft point price attached. Already a phenomenal success on the PC, Mojang's open-world construction game will add Kinect support via a postlaunch patch. Development of the port is being handled by 4J Studios, the outfit behind the Xbox 360 versions of Perfect Dark and the Banjo-Kazooie games.
The Xbox 360 version of Minecraft will also introduce an in-game wiki--a tutorial mode that teaches players about the foundations of Minecraft--as well as improved navigation and crafting systems.
Also out this week is Starhawk, the spiritual successor to 2007's Warhawk. The game is a PS3-exclusive space-Western that features both single-player and multiplayer modes. Like Warhawk before it, Starhawk will support competitive multiplayer matches on large-scale maps that cater to three varieties of combat: on foot, in ground vehicles, and in flying machines.
To see what else is out this week, check the list below:

Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition (Xbox 360)

I got Starhawk early and it is awesome But I'm sure the one system fanboys will beg to differ.
@COPMAN221ISBACK I agree the game is awesome but why would fanboys begging to differ have to do w/ anything? whats your point is what im getting at because that post you wrote is an open invitation to spark some "fanboy" flames. No disrespect but you come off like a fanboy and if you like the game, have it early as you mentioned, then why would that matter anyway?
1 Like Starhawk is an amazing game. The Beta was amazing. It need more recognition than it has, because CoD and Halo are stealing the spotlight. This is a shooter thats not like the others.
@Scorchstar i hope so too, nothing hurts more than empty lobbies in a great game but starhawk has been selling well w/ pre-orders / so far
