Minecraft



Minecraft is a Game currently in development. It is almost into the beta stage. The point of the game is to build, mine, craft, and stockpile during the day and to hide from or kill monsters at night. Hunting monsters is harder than you think in this game, so far there are skeletons that have bows and arrows, zombies that pursue you relentlessly if they catch sight of you, spiders that hop around and like to eat you, and then there are thecreepers.
Creepers are the most annoying monster in the game, They sneak up behind you, make a hissing noise, then blow up, making holes in your defenses and gouging the landscape. A rather creepy thing that creepers do is they like to wait outside your door where you can't see them, and when you come out BOOM, scares the heck out of you. Its funny, whenever someone plays minecraft you will always know when a creeper got them. You hear a boom and some kind of exclamation somewhere along the lines of: darnit!, dang creeper!, or AH!
It is a fun game and it is also multiplayer, although it is currently somewhat buggy right now. Right now you have to make one time payment to get an account to play the game. It costs around $13 right now. Although, the price is going to go up in the near future as it goes into beta. Anyone who pays for the game while in alpha stage gets all future versions free.

Minecraft is a fun game where you can make anything. You just have to have the items get the stuff you need to make it. There is night and day. When you start a game you will always start out sunny. So you have to find a good place to settle down before the monsters come out when it is night time. Then when it is day time again you can get stuff from the trees and plants and other cool stuff.
Then when you are ready to go underground you will find cool rocks and ore that will make cool items.

Minecraft is a game that you can buy online. Once bought, you are able to play the game in a browser or you can download the game and save it wherever. The game, although not finished, is just to survive, craft objects, place blocks, and to explore. Survival mode is the only mode that you are able to play so far. There are a bunch of modules that other players have made that can make that game a bit more fun, like PvP or RPG.

Once inside the game, there's no turning back. You are stuck in the mystery land and cannot get out. You may only try to survive and listen to bad music while running away from exploding, four-legged green hotdog monsters. The story of how you got there is a mystery, you only know that...

YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
