Minecraft

[alexxkay]

My current videogame addiction. Also, the current big indie success story, as its creator has become quiet rich, quite fast due to its popularity. It's an open-world sandbox, and in a much more literal way than that term is usually applied. It's also like playing with a planet-sized lego set. I could go on at some length, but others already have, so I'll just include some links here:

Critique 1: I don't care how brilliant the design might be, if they want me to possibly spend money on a game, they need to tell me more than this -

"What it is:
Minecraft is a game about placing blocks while running from skeletons. Or something like that..
Here, watch this video of me testing rollercoasters in the game instead"

Marketing FAIL!
