A flat I built in a really cool little game called Minecraft. The in-browser multiplayer is completely free to play. There's also an alpha standalone version.

I've been playing the alpha for the last couple days. It's ridiculously addicting for such a simple game. I can't wait for the multiplayer mode to be finalized and released.

I also have been making many Minecraft skins; here's a few:

Is that Jesus at the bottom? I'm sort of weary to pay the $15 for Alpha. I used someone else's account for a while and found the crafting to be really confusing.

It isn't anyone in particular, I was just making a greek/roman guy, lol.

The crafting is a bit confusing at first, since there is no tutorial, but there's a wiki with all the current things you can craft (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Crafting), and once you give that a good look over, you can really move forward in the game and start doing whatever you want to do.

Seems really good, completely worth downloading the demo. It only gives you 10 minutes per run to wander around the city though. The full game is definitely going to be cool.

Matter of opinion, to me it's no were near GTA 4 although the Mafia 2 demo is nice but has some really annoying things about it. I bet i don't get 200 hours of play time out of it like i have GTA 4

The map looks small too.

Mafia 2 is good im not trying to say it's not. And im sure the Mafia strory will be much better than GTA 4 as this is were GTA 4 lacked for me as it's always played well for me.

I'll have loads of fun with Mafia just cannot see me spending 200+ hours with it but hopefully 50+ at least.

Looks are not every thing to me sick of games having uber graphics and nothing else to them.

Made a little (big) Mario in Minecraft earlier.



I also did Mega Man but I forgot to dig down a few blocks before starting so his head got cut off

It is almost worth buying. But given my recent splurges I might have to wait a while
I think something may be up with this 5970 anyway not looking so good in games.

EDIT: Found the problem.

I don't like Mafia 2 graphics, stuff looks like its on another layer kinda like how 3D tvs work.
I just want to watch The Untouchables or Goodfellas after playing the demo lol.
