I was recently asked to explain Minecraft to a non-gaming friend. It was one of those curious Friday afternoons, where my brain had already started to ease itself into the weekend. The best I could muster was likening it to being blindfolded and dropped off in the middle of a strange city.

My son was obsessed with Minecraft before he ever saw the actual game. There are so many products out there, it can kind of turn you off, but having the actual game (especially on a console) shows why the game is worth it.

I had a vague idea of what I was getting into, the rich heritage of the PC original is hard to ignore. Minecraft has developed a strong and dedicated community since it was released in alpha form back in 2009.

Definitely not your average videogame. When it came out for the 360 it was out of the box but I was glad they came out with it for consoles. It's my favorite game. You can do whatever you want whenever, create to your hearts content. There's no limit to what you can create in this game.

My 8 yr old Nephew loves this game and even my older Nephew of 18 used to play it aswell, It can be played offline or online. You basically build your own world using all the different type of blocks in the game, you can create anything and also visit other peoples creations online.

Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition is an awesome game. The graphics are deliberately simple and basic, yet the gameplay allows you the freedom to play at a pace and level to suit you. It challenges you to live and survive in a rural setting developing farming, mining and building.

minecraft is a good game to play but you need to expand it to different platforms instead of being exclusive to xbox 360 and it is just too expensive...
