Minecraft
 

Has anybody here succumbed to this electronic crack?

Me and my two oldest kid's play a lot.

For some strange reason I feel very tempted to buy this game lately.

Is it like Minesweeper?

You seriously haven't heard of minecraft?



Here's a tutorial but basically it's an open world game where you can build stuff. As an added challenge zombies (yes, Shabba, zombies!!!) come to hunt you at night

The worlds are also procedurally generated, so you never play the same one twice. And those worlds are huge. Game is still in beta, so it can be a little buggy. Must make sure your Java is updated as well as your video card driver (seriously!). Game is not optimized yet so it's a video card hog.

Propain, the game gets released in November. We bought when it was 10 euro, now it's 15, and I think it'll be 20 when released.

Kind of doesn't look like something I would like to pay for...

Yeah I contemplated buying it when they announced it would go beta and get a 5$ price raise.

But it looks like something one should get for free anyways...

I watched several tutorials last night; might be a fun game.
