Minecraft is an addictive and entertaining computer game, also available on Xbox Live, and even a Pocket Addition for Android and Apple devices. The classic 16-bit style is attractive and keeps creating and hunting simpler, for the most part anyway. The little cubic character, Steve, walks around an uncharted world, discovering ancient weapons, precious metals and jems, magnificent landscapes, and even alternate worlds. In Survival Mode, You start off with nothing but a map, and you are left to find cover before nightfall. Later making your way up from a bed in a hut, to a majestic stronghold. Crafting weapons and tools helps you obtain materials, and fight off opposing enemies. You have a depleting hunger, that you must satisfy by killing and cooking pigs, or growing plants. When your character dies, he loses everything currently in his possession, leaving you to search out the location of your downfall and reacquire your arsenal, it only stays there for a short time! A downside that could drive any sane person to insanity! Ha ha, maybe an exaggeration, it's not that bad, unless you die far from your last checkpoint!
There is also a Creative Mode that lets you build and create anything you desire with no limitations! Except height, you can only barely exceed the height of the clouds, which is a downside if you were planning on constructing a skyscraper that reaches the heavens, but hey, who need buildings that high anyway? Awesome game, available as a digital download on many different platforms. I highly suggest downloading this, but be warned, it is extremely addictive, and has earned the title: time vacuum!
