Minecraft Verdict: To Build Or Not To Build, That Is The Question

Minecraft, the famous indie game from developer Mojang is finally out, and our own Stephen "I-love-blocks" Johnson stepped away from his own creativity for a while to review this innovative game. The hardest thing about Minecraft, he said, was finding something bad about it. Here's a snippet of what Steve had to say:

"The greatness of Minecraft comes from these entirely self-guided experiences. It comes from the primal sense of adventure exploring a deep cavern brings, and the genuine terror when you realize you’re hopelessly lost in that same cavern and giant poison spiders are closing in. Completing a huge construction project is as rewarding as finishing the giant Lego set you got for Christmas that time was, except you can walk through it and “live” there. When it’s at its best, Minecraft blurs the line between toy and game beautifully, and isn’t really like any other game."
