Review | Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition
My previous experiences with Minecraft consist of having played a trial that came with one of the Humble Indie Bundles not too long ago and from that I took quite a negative stance on whether or not Minecraft was all it was cracked up to be. Now after playing the Xbox 360 version of the game and giving it a bit more time and effort I can say I think I found what my previous experiences with the game were missing.
