Fancy playing some Minecraft on your Xbox 360? I’ve got a copy to giveaway right here on my blog. I’ve been playing a lot of Minecraft recently and felt the need to share the love.
So, what do you need to do to get hold of the greatest time sink of all time on your Xbox? Simple really, you can either;
- Comment below with your building idea for Minecraft. It could be an underwater war room, a floating castle or a cute cottage.
- Or, if you have the PC version, show me your coolest build by linking your picture with a description in the comments.
Please make sure to link me your Twitter in the URL bit and your real e-mail address so I can contact you with the code. I’ll choose a winner tomorrow. Get commenting!
Update: Well done @SquidGaming for winning. Can’t wait to see Earth 2.0.
I’ve recently been playing a lot of Minecraft on Xbox 360. I’m back in love. It’s awesome. I’m happy.
So far? It’s awesome. There are a few frame rate issues but they rarely happen. I’ve been playing around in a world with Sam, Dom, Joe, but I hear even Martin has jumped in on the action.
The video is of our place so far. The train station is something of a project of mine because I basically like to use glass all the time. We’ve dug deep underground though finding awesome caves.
Anyway, enjoy the video and my brief cameo at the start before I shut the door on Sam and go to bed.
I can’t believe it was 5 years ago that Guild Wars 2 was announced. That was bloody ages ago! I played it last weekend – check out my opinion of the beta on VG247 – and it’s revived any excitement I previously lost.
The most attractive bit is the one-off payment, which has always been something of a bugbear for me. I feel extremely guilty if I pay for time in a game and don’t get the most value out of it. I’m also one who likes to play a bit of everything at the time, so I couldn’t commit to one game for an entire month. Of course, Guild Wars 2 with it’s subscription-less package, make the idea of constantly going back extremely attractive.
I like MMORPGs I just don’t have the time to be truly attached to them any more. Plus I’d rather play a decent one-off price for a well crafted MMO than pay nothing at all for a crap one.
I’m pretty excited. I’m torn between Norn or Human at the moment. I love playing Amazonian characters but I like the idea of playing a noble princess-like human. I did enjoy the Elementalist role but I’m going to be playing around with roles when the game launches.
Did you give the beta a go? What did you think? Let me know in the comments.
So it’s not on the console most of us wanted but certainly the one we were expecting. Project Zero II is one of my favourite survival horror games of all time and it’s getting released on the Wii with graphical updates, revised costumes, new endings, a third person mode, and more.
While I’m excited to see the game getting a remake, I’m also saddened to see that Nintendo has yet again failed to bring Project Zero 4, officially known as Zero: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, to the west. There’s already a fan translation available for those with a Japanese copy but the problem is getting hold of a copy. I’ve been trying for the last year and a half to get one on several bidding websites but everyone’s got a price limit. I can’t justify £80 on a Wii game right now. Sad face…

The above screen shows the major graphical changes with the new version (above, left) looking much prettier. I’m not sure I like the change in costumes however. Seems like a cheap attempt as showing off more skin, especially Mio, who appears to have also earned a substantial upgrade in the booby department.
Apart from the awful new voice cast, hopefully Project Zero II Wii Edition will remain super scary throughout. It’s heading to Europe on June 29th which is the same day as the 3DS spin off game Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir.
