It'll come as no suprise to those who know me that Minecraft is my game of the week. Through the power of word of mouth, lone Swedish programmer Markus Persson has created a hugely entertaining overnight hit. Minecraft allows players to interact with and mold an infinite stylised world of blocks.
This huge creative potential has attracted tens of thousands of people to the games website. Persson reported last week a record one day of sales at over €350,000 and out of Minecraft's success a new six man studio has been spawned.
I find this game fantastically addictive despite its alpha status. I can't recommend this game strongly enough to those how love to build and explore in their games. For now Minecraft is selling for under €10. So what are you waiting for?
