Minecraft has gained lots of ground in the PC market, considering it was originally an indie game. Is the game actually that good though? We put the game to the test in the first Gamerstorm video review.

Presentation
Minecraft is one of the few games that doesn’t strive for graphics, but instead goes for other features such as creativity.
The whole point of Minecraft is in the title, you mine and you craft. There are also other features in the game, such as exploring and online mode, but mining and crafting are the main features of the game. Minecraft is the go anywhere, do anything of games. There is essentially no story to the game, instead offering players with an unlimited stream of content.
Graphics
Minecraft presents itself as a current generation, 8-bit game with a twist. The graphics are 8-bit but all environments are 3-D. This gives a new dimension to classic 8-bit games, and really makes the game stand out amongst other current generation games.
Characters in the game, including animals and monsters, are also 8-bit. This makes each character unique from other games. A cool feature also included, is that you can open up any image manipulation software, and create your own character skin. You can then use these skins in both single player and online modes.
Lasting Appeal
If you are a very creative person, Minecraft could last you well over a year with daily play. If you are not very creative, then this game might only last you a good 3 weeks. The online mode adds a lot of life into Minecraft, because without the online mode, Minecraft’s lasting appeal would be significantly shorter. This game is not for the light hearted people of creation, and I only recommend it to people who are willing to spend at least 5 hours of gameplay at a time creating spectacular things.
Verdict
Minecraft is an unbelievable game, which separates itself from the current slab of First Person Shooter games. Minecraft breathes life into the repetative game industry of today, and I hope that this is a sign of good things to come. At the time of this review, the game was in beta, and sold for $15. When the full game is out, it will be selling for $20. To visit the game website, visit http://www.minecraft.net/ .
YouTuber Potomy has revealed new details about the new Bloodborne mod and that it is now in a playable state for Minecraft.
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.
But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?
A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.
But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.
- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).
Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.
Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.
I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
Minecraft Bedrock is introducing add-ons to the marketplace. The add-ons can now be added to many existing and new worlds.
Nice! Next up, shaders on consoles.
“A new update is improving how mods work for Minecraft Bedrock. Mojang has introduced add-ons to the marketplace.”
“These add-ons can now easily be added to new and existing worlds instead of being tied to a single world.
There are plenty of free and paid add-ons that will let you customize just about anything in your world.”
So RayTracing is no longer locked to the NVIDIA maps? I know there was a workaround, but it will be nice to have easier access to all worlds.

It is a generally good game considering it was made by one guy with limited resources. However, most people agree on the fact that once you've built your mansion, created a mob killing machine and seen all the limited landscapes that are available the game gets old quickly.
Also, for those who say "just explore! there's mountains and rivers and ca- yes. I understand there are different terrains but they are all generated from a basic, limited list of geometry types. The only times that something looks odd or interesting is normally when - ironically - there are faults in the generation tool and even then there is still limited variation.

Minecraft is amazing :D but i wish they would implement some type of experience system and challenges or something. give people a reason to keep coming back. :)
