Minecraft

Penny Arcade - Mine All Mine, Part One

For those who like to experiment, create and have free-roam in your games, I recommend you Minecraft.
I haven't played it yet, mostly because it'll be a game that I'll get stuck to, just like in the Penny Arcade comic above, and I'll be so sad not to have more time to play it (gotta work, sigh). So far, my friends been raving about it, the fancy houses they have built, the huge caverns to explore and the zombies that comes out at night. Yes! There are zombies in this game.

Minecraft is about placing blocks while not being eaten by zombies. You can create wooden blocks, mine for coal and other resources to create a safe fort or house to live in while you explore the Minecraft world you are at. The zombies come out at night. so you better not get lost and head home before the night falls, or you will be eaten! Mwahaha!

 If you like sandbox games, do visit http://www.minecraft.net/ and check it out. There's a really cool video of this huge rollercoaster built in Minecraft.

I just might get it for Christmas, when I have more time to play. =D
