Minecraft
I found a new obsession this weekend, and it’s name is Minecraft.
Minecraft, simply put, is a game where you go around building things for fun. If you want to go out and build a 400 foot monument to yourself, go for it. If you want to go dig a house out of a mountain, you can do that too. From what I have seen there really is no right or wrong way to play the game. You pretty much sit down, figure out your goal and do it.
At the core of the game, you gather resources to make things. For example, when you start out – you can go punch a tree down. Yes, this is as awesome as it sounds. You can then gather the pieces of wood to craft something else. You might make a crafting table, so then you can create a pick axe. With the pick axe, you can start mining for coal to make your torches. Then you can build a shovel to dig faster in the dirt. Before you know it, you will have an entire fort built for yourself with animals randomly spawning in your second floor (as you can see from the picture above).
You can download this amazing little game and play it again and again for only about $20 or so (technically, If you pre-purchase now during beta, you pay €14.95!) My entire Sunday was lost in Minecraft and I am sure more productivity will go down the drain soon. How else will I finish my 200 foot tall stone badger monument?

3 Easy Ways to Make Your Own Game
Actually inspired by one of my nephews, who really wants to learn how to make his own video games, I started searching the Web to see if I could find some easy to use web sites that would allow anybody to create their own game. I found more than a few, however these are the three best ones thus far.
This web site is pretty complicated when it comes to the number of things going on, on the screen – however it does have a lot of tools to use to create your own games (or play the games others have created). You can either start from scratch or go with one of the templates they provide, such as action game, golf game, ninja game, jumping game and more.
With Sploder, you are given the option of creating either a platformer game or a shooter game. Also giving you the options of sharing your creation, I liked Sploder because it was a little more on the simple side. So, if you want to show this off to a kid – it might be a lot easier for them to wrap their minds around.
Mockingbird is the last pick on my list. They too give you a lot to work with, but instead of simply building one kind of game – they offer several kits (or the ability to build your own kit) with programmable sounds, actions and more. If you wanted to get somebody into the mindset of programming a game – this would be the one I would have them play with. Why? Well, with having to set, for example, a bomb to be able to jump and assign the farting noise when he does so – gives a much better cause and effect result I think anybody from any age group could understand.
Although none of these games will have you programming your own games, each site delivers a unique way of getting a younger child, nephew, or sibling interested in the idea of game development.
