Last friday I didn’t something I knew was a horribly bad idea, but it had been so long since the last time I played Minecraft that I had to load it up again and test out all the new features for a bit.
Now the problem with Minecraft is that ‘a bit’ usually ends up with you realising that suddenly it’s 6 o’clock in the morning and you have no idea where the hell time went. Instead you have spendt the last 8+ hours building a giant castle to keep the zombie horde at a safe distace while you’re digging massive tunnels under the mountains in onder to get more resources, so that you’re massive castle can get even bigger. You see where I’m going with this.
Though the game may not have shiny graphics and all that fancy stuff, what is does have is great gameplay and tons of re-play value. In fact Minecraft is probably one of the scariest games I’ve played. Trust me, when you’re deep inside a mountain exploring a cave you just found, and from seemingly out of no where a Creeper jumps out an explodes in your face (litterally) you’ll be scared to death.
Minecraft also has a damn impressive level generator. You can walk around for hours just looking around at all the pretty landscapes. Just be sure to get inside somewhere and lock the doors at night to avoid those damn zombies. And did I mention that the maps are basically infinite?
It’s easily worth the money, and even more so when Survival Multiplayer is released, which should happen soon.
Oh, and yeah, new theme for the blog. Fun times.
