    Fun, addictive, old-school

    By xabbott | Review Date: Sep 16, 2010 | WEB

    Minecraft is hard to describe. A player will start the game with nothing, plopped down into a procedurally generated level. Provided one doesn't look at a walk through the next few hours will be filled with exploration a... Read Full Review

    Worth the money, and only in alpha. Hands down one of the best PC games I've ever played. GREAT online community.

    I first heard about the game on Reddit about a year ago and bought it. It was sandbox mode only back then but I still loved it. I have recently returned to the World of Minecraft to find that Notch, the developer, has ... Read Full Review

    Adult Legos in your own massive, unique, emergent world.

    Well worth the 10$

    By ogto | Review Date: Sep 16, 2010 | WEB

    I'll keep my review short and simple: Minecraft is cheap. It's full of potential. It does what few games succeed in doing. It makes manipulating the world around you 1. Challenging and 2. Pleasurable. It doesn't use a... Read Full Review

    Very interesting and addictive adventure game.

    By AikiRoM | Review Date: Sep 12, 2010 | WEB

    This game is awesome. The graphics are perfect for the game because the creators wanted a little game but a complex one. I like the surviving thing and the fact that you can mine for Coal/Iron/Gold/Red-stone/Diamond etc... Read Full Review

    Great idea, just needs some direction

    By Decker12 | Review Date: Sep 06, 2010 | WEB

    So, I've made a couple of bases, and mined them as deep as I can to find the "good stuff". Built staircases down and fashioned several mine shafts off the main stairs. Discovered a few deep caverns, avoided some lava flo... Read Full Review
