I've seen Minecraft on the radar lately. Some friends were playing it on xbox, so I tried it.
I'm hooked, though I still have no clue what I'm doing or why.
the graphics are deliberately bad. Bad as in made to look lo-res retro.
the game play seems to be what the Lego games SHOULD have been. Tear up the current environment to get blocks to make it look like how you want it.
On top of that, at night, the monsters come out. So you have to hurry up and fortify and secure your position.
That's actually kind of fun. There aren't any other games like that (well maybe tower defense).
Thus far, I have built a tower with a deep moat as my shelter. It has a glass observation deck on the 4th floor so I can look out and watch the incoming horders. Only the spiders can get onto my tower (not in), as they seem to jump or climb down the moat and up the wall.
What do other people think about this game?
Any basic advice for a newb?
