Minecraft is a type of sandbox building game on the PC compared to form of survival lego building game where the gameworld is 8 times bigger than the real world so there is an awful lot available to do. Created in May 17th 2009 by indie developer Markus "notch" Persson and written in java minecraft os now in its beta phase and under the company Mojang with the proceeds going to game development in the beggining Minecraft has now made millions and is becoming a popular game fast without being actually released on retail yet.
Minecraft is most well known for the creative structures made using its blocky graphics. Most notably groups have created full 1 to 1 scale replicas of landmarks using it. This has lead to many youtube videos and images of epic builds.
Aswell as the landmarks the minecraft community create brand new imaginative builds like football stadiums in there own design to castles and even in some cases whole cities!.
Minecraft is a game I feel everyone should give a try even with the free alpha version it lets the creative side come out in you. And if you like it you can buy the upgrade to beta for 13 pounds and offers free future updates. Aswell as this minecraft has just been announced that it will appear on the Xbox 360 kinect at the end of this year.
