Steve Haske writes: Despite its grandiose-sounding title, Prelude of the Chambered isn't a well-known or big budget game. It's unlikely to show up on anyone's 2011 "top ten" list, nor will it see a release on PSN or XBLA any time soon. Under normal circumstances, few people would probably even remember it six months down the road. Prelude does have one big thing going for it, though -- it's still the new game from Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson, and though it can be beaten in under half an hour, Mojang's branding alone might save it from the oblivion of indie obscurity.
