Telling you what to play…Minecraft

Suimply put the greatest game ever made. It is equally revolutionary and fun. There have been games that changed the way we play, like pong, and then there are insanely fun games like Super Mario Bro’s.

Minecraft is both. It is the game that has everything. The world is yours to shape. Build anything you want and monsters to fight. It has a beginning and an end and you decide when and where the game goes. Some may argue that World of Warcraft should take the mantle of greatest game ever. I can’t, tell you why later. You start out as Steve. You have nothing. You are in a wilderness and you are alone. You know there are villagers somewhere out there, but they could be miles away. It will be dark soon and the zombies, skeletons, spiders and creepers will be coming for you in a hurry. You have to turn things that you can gather with your bare hands into weapons and shelter and you have to gather food.

You can make magic and potions and a Diamond sword. The game lends itself to telling your story. You can play by yourself or with friends or you can play on Multiplayer maps. There are also puzzle maps and challenge maps made by users. And this is where the game outshines all others. The mods.

There are so many mods made by users and they are all free to try. I play the technic mod where the rules are the same except that while in vanilla Minecraft you can only craft your way to diamonds (weapons, armor and the like) Technic/Tekkit you can make nuclear power, bombs, lasers, it is nearly limitless what you can do. You can build great machines and in Technic the are many more creatures and dangers. Other mods like Hack/Slash and Yogsbox are unending adventure games.

This is why it edges out WoW. You can play alone or with others in gigantic maps. Do anything, go anywhere (you can literally go to Hell and back and INTO THE VOID). And it does not cost you a monthly fee to play. A community of great gamers are out there to keep making this game a great reality. A reality that was just once a dream of one man.

Last but not least…the creeper

It sneaks up behind you and blows up. It destroys everything around you, a total game changer. This critter keeps you on your toes. Every game needs a bad guy and the creeper is the best. After a while in the game you can withstand an explosion of a creeper without dying. Your stuff cannot. While you may feel invincible you still have to watch out as a creeper can take out something it took you hours to build. The creeper it the ultimate nemesis its only desire is to blow up next to you. It is Moriarty to your Sherlock. Its only goal is your destruction even if it has to die to achieve this. All other games the bad guy tries to kill you before you kill it. Not the creeper.

I should point out that understand the graphics are less than what you would expect, however if you system is not up to it the game will ruin your PC. There are great texture packs that change the way the game looks and use immense resources. It is all blocks and it is so vast in scope it wouldn’t work any other way.

So go try Minecraft and we will see you…in a few months.
