    Has anyone played this?

    My grandson was on about it, so bought it for him to play at mine, but can't get off it mesen! It has to be one of the most addictive games I've played.

    Played it on PC, couldn't get into to it myself. Seems like Minecraft but in a old school view

    I've played it a few times. The skeleton boss at the left hand side (or that's where it was when I played) is great fun to take on with some friends

    Probably because I'm "old school" myself, it's why it appeals to me.;)

    The more you get into it, the more addictive it gets.

    Had a run in with the skeleton, but came out the loser.

    I found Minecraft a lot more addicting, especially with the mods for that, so much to do, probably the only limitless game (on that point, there's a rumour that microsoft are buying minecraft for $2 billion, the guy who made it's doing well ;))

    I have Minecraft, but couldn't really get into it.

    Might dig it out to have a play,

    He did quit, but I happen to know that he still takes 95% of sales, and that the people working on it are salary based, rather than getting commission.

    I agree it went down from there, that's why I play with mods, they change the game to add a billion new features

    I recommend looking into mods, the Fee the Beast launcher makes mods as easy as downloading it, putting your minecraft account details in (it's safe, the code they use is open source, and I've personally had a look) and selecting a modpack, and hitting launch. All the loss are installed for you, and you just play. A pack with 100+ mods gets a little daunting, but it's fun to see it in a new way.

    I have Minecraft for the 360. Can you get the mods for that?

    No you can't, sorry, I just assumed PC

    Some of the mods for PC are crazy, adding things like complete power systems, programmable computers, TVs that can actually play videos in game, hang gliders, and god knows what else

    Thanks anyway. Haven't noticed Minecraft on PC. Might have a look for it.

    Noticed that they are now bringing out a Space Terraria (available on Steam at the minute).

    Truly limitless.

    Someone made the ENTIRE COUNTRY OF DENMARK ON A 1 TO 1 SCALE

    Seriously. Too much time.
