Minecraft (Alpha) Review

What is Minecraft you may ask? Well Minecraft's a game where the world is vast and infinite, where mountains touch the very tips of the sky and the deepest darkest caves lead to treasure (or your doom). The world is your playground and the only limit to the world itself is your imagination.

It's still in Alpha though, do not let that stop you from playing it though. There's a lot of features being added each update. It has single player survival mode (currently) and multiplayer mode of the same name so far (the barebones anyway), and the creator notch has plans for more. Another thing about this game is that he has made it himself, all the graphics are stuff he has hand drawn. The graphics might be just a bunch of blocks overall, but the textures on each block look amazing.

In Single Player Survival you have to survive by killing spiders, skeletons, zombies, and something that explodes called creepers for materials that you can craft. You can craft tools out of wood, iron, gold, stone, and even diamond and building blocks like bricks out of clay. You can craft a sword out of the different stones and metals and you can craft bow and arrows.

I highly recommend this game for people who enjoy building and being creative, or for those looking for a survival game, because it offers plenty in the way of both. It's rather cheap at only $13 (us dollars)  at the moment.
