There are a couple of games I've been playin recently, including Halo Reach (yeah STILL playing it :P), Tactics Ogre, Call of Duty Black Ops(at my friend's place) and just about to get Dragon Age II. . . which the GameSpot review upset me alot about, but which I', getting this week anyways because I'm a huge fan of the original Dragon Age.

Anyways, A day or two ago, I welcomed the newest recruit to my "Now Playing" list. . . MINECRAFT!!!! Which I find very peculiar but lots of youtube videos from here and there really piqued my interestin the game,like this awesome channel I just HAVE to mentionin youtube The Yogscast(Their Minecraft EpisodesPlaylist), and although I've seen many more minecraft videos before, it would be safe to say these guys are the ones who pulled me into it. . . The game is extremely simple yet hosts amassive potential. . . and that is not easy to get in a game. Mind you, this game is addictive and could quickly get out of hand!!!! I really liked the different blocks, materials, and tools you can find and craft/smelt, and there are MANY recipes. Although the game is still in beta, its already getting awesome reviews and has already won many prizes in GDC awards!!!! So we could say the end result just might be even EPIC-er. Much to my disappointment, I'm not good at the game myself, but when I looked backinto it, I realised the game gave me two crappy maps ar my first and that crappiness really frustrated me. . . So you could also say it has some elements of luck. . . .

But in the end, this game is really cool and I'm sure anybody, regardless of their personal taste in game genres, would enjoy this game. . . just watch out!!!! Some people start a playing session on Minecraft and zone out, waking up after a couple of hours in awe of their unawareness of progressing time. . . .
