While some savvy 360 owners have been playing Minecraftknock offs for some time now, the rest of you will get your chance to try the real deal in Spring of 2012. It isn't going to have all the features of its PC counterpart when it releases, but the XBLA version of Mojang's fantastic open-world create-anything-you-want game is still fun and addictive. And it has at least one component that all Minecraft players should envy.
The 360 version of Minecraft is still largely the same game. You drop into a world composed of various types of cubes, chipping away at them in an effort to gather resources and create new tools and items. At night monsters come out, forcing you to build structures to survive. It has a lot of the same appeal as working with a box of LEGO, only here you have to actually mine the right types of blocks to be able to make the various structures conceived in your mind's eye. You can play it just to go nuts creating, or you can build armor and weapons and go spelunking in caves, exploring and hunting for precious minerals. Minecraft isn't meant to be played a specific way, but rather is intended to be a true sandbox for you to play around in.
