Minecraft is celebrating four years on console, and to celebrate, Microsoft and Mojang are offering some birthday DLC. This is also your chance to catch up on previous years’ celebratory offerings.

There’s a new skin pack to celebrate the occasion. This has become an annual tradition, but don’t worry if you’re just clueing into it.

All of the previous skin pack birthday bundles are available again for a limited time on Xbox 360 and Xbox One. You can download all four now through May 16.

Forza 6 has gotten plenty of post-release DLC cars and content, and if this picture is correct, stock cars may be the next addition to the sim-racer.

A reader on Reddit has posted a picture of a digital download retail slip in the UK for what appears to be a NASCAR expansion (for £15.99).

No other details are evident via the shot, but we can hope that it includes specific campaign races similar to the game's recent Porsche expansion.

With May here, it’s time for the return of two blockbuster franchises. You’ve got a few days in between them though, so we hope you’ve blocked out some vacation time.

Tomorrow marks what very well might be Nathan Drake’s last ride (and definitely the final entry from series creator Naughty Dog). The end of the week brings us back to Hell with Doom.

Here’s the full rundown:

The long-rumored Batman: Return to Arkham HD Collection has surfaced yet again, this time thanks to an apparent listing on an Italian retail site and magazine ad. The collection purportedly includes both of Rocksteady's last-gen Batman games – Arkham Knight and Arkham City – all gussied up to take advantage of the current hardware generation.

Gaming Tree House posted a screengrab from GameStop Italy, which featured a description for the game, as well as a magazine ad that shows the box art. The listing isn't currently up on the retailer's site, so that screengrab is all we have to go on right now. According to the apparent site listing, the collection is coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on June 10 for an MSRP of about $40, and it includes remastered versions of the two games and their respective DLC.

Full disclosure: GameStop is Game Informer's parent company.

Sometime this month, Halo developer 343 Industries will release Halo 5: Guardian's latest free update, Memories of Reach. The update includes a new arena map, multiplayer game, weapons, and much more.

The multiplayer game Infection is a 12-player, round-based mode that starts out with one infected player who must convert the others by taking them out. We'll have more on Infection here at Game Informer later today, so please check back.

Meanwhile, the map – Statis – is a mid-sized asymmetrical map that 343 says it will detail more in this week's livestream on Wednesday, May 11 from 3 to 5 p.m. Pacific on Twitch and the Halo Channel.

Monster Hunter saved the day for Capcom as Ryu and pals failed to deliver expected sales. The publisher has announced a strong close to its most recent fiscal year, despite a significant shortfall in Street Fighter V revenue.

A year ago, Capcom announced it expected to sell 2.5 million Monster Hunter X copies and 2 million Street Fighter V units. Monster Hunter on 3DS (which has still only released in Japan) moved 3 million copies. Street Fighter V on PS4 and PC, a worldwide release, only moved 1.4 million.

Net sales for the company were up 19.8 percent to ¥77 billion ($719.2 million). Operating income climbed by 13.7 percent to ¥12 billion ($112.3 million) and net income rose by 17.1 percent to ¥7.8 billion ($72.3 million). 

When Microsoft announced it was bringing Minecraft to Wii U, the endgame was clear: world (1-1) domination. The master plan goes into effect next week, with the release of the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack.

The free update, which will be out May 17, brings 15 pieces of Super Mario music, item textures, 40 skins, and a pre-made world. Inspiration is pulled from a number of Mario's greatest adventures, including Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, and Super Mario Sunshine.

If you prefer your games on disc, you'll be able to purchase a retail version on June 17 for $29.99. The Super Mario mashup content will be included. If you can't wait to try the game on Wii U, it's also $29.99 via the eShop.

The newest segment from Fine Brothers Entertainment's React series has teens playing the 1993 classic Doom.

While some of them show familiarity with the series, most are playing the original for the first time, with the exception of one girl who played it when she was younger. They all seem to still enjoy it 23 years after its release, with one of them even complimenting the aesthetics of the shooter for its time. Watch the video below to see how well they fair in their attempts at exploring the world of Doom.

YouTube show Man At Arms, hosted by Tony Swatton, is known for its impressive video game sword and armor recreations. This time around, they've tackled Fury's Song, a melee weapon from Call of Duty: Black Ops III.

The replica of the sword is made out of hardened, bullet-proof steel, and was built by a team of six. The 14-minute video below demonstrates just how much intricate detail and manpower it took to build.
