Features

Your world in Minecraft is randomly generated, and you appear in a land surrounded by water, with mountains, valleys, trees and animals. It's not clear what to do except explore to begin with but as the sun sets, monsters appear, who will kill you. Survival is impossible in the open, so you need to build a shelter to hide out in for the first night. Here is a guide.

Playability

Version 1.0 has some nice cosmetic changes, including an HD texture pack, better lighting from torches and even prettier sunsets and sunrises! The game launcher also looks better. There is now a 'Creative Mode', which makes you invincible, gives you unlimited resources, allows you to fly, and fast forward/rewind time! This mode is ideal for players who just want to get on and build cool stuff, without worrying about staying alive.

Quality

Minecraft is constantly being improved. It's blocky graphics give it a unique style, and while there have been many clones and copies, nothing matches the original. The mix of exploration and creation during the day, and frightening survival at night is infectious.

Conclusion

Minecraft is a wonderfully inventive sandbox game that really deserves the title, as your creation in it is only limited by your imagination and time!

What's new

A new realm has been added to Minecraft, which allows faster travel through the huge worlds. Called The Nether, it resembles Hell, and is full of flowing lava and monsters. You can access The Nether using portals made from Obsidian you have mined. Also, when you create a new Minecraft world, it will now be more varied, with 'biomes' of different landscape, like desert, tundra and snow. NPC (non player characters) now roam villages, which can serve as early shelters for you at night, if you can find them!

StarForge blends elements from both Minecraft and the Halo franchises. Just like Minecraft, StarForge has fully manipulable environments. Players can carve tunnels, build platforms and set up weapons to protect their base. StarForge borrows elements from the Halo franchise with its first person shooter aesthetic, as well as having vehicles in the game that resemble those in Halo. Players can even fly into space, opening up a whole new mechanic to the game.

Players will spend a majority of their time preparing for the alien onslaught. Prepare your base by building up walls, putting up spotlights, and placing weapons for the best defense. From the very beginning, all weapons and structures are available to you to build up your base. While Minecraft has Creepers, StarForge has face-eating flying aliens.

Performance and graphics largely depend on your machine. This early alpha of the game requires a decently powerful computer to render its lush environments and to support its rag doll physics. The graphics in StarForge are stunningly beautiful, but players will find that they can also look crunchy at times.

Overall, StarForge is a very promising game with an already-huge fan base. The developers have the right idea and should be able to improve performance and game play in future versions.

The main aim in KSP is to build a space-worthy craft, capable of flying it's crew out into space, without killing them. At your disposal are a collection of parts, which must be assembled to create a functional ship. Each part has a different function and will affect the way a ship flies:

Kerbal Space Program allows players to design, build and pilot a space vehicle from pre-fab modules. These modules or parts include engines, fuel tanks, and wings and to make things more interesting, additional parts such as bombs, payloads and landing gear have been added to the game by players.

Some of the most notable features of KSP are:

At the moment there is only one planet - Kerbin - which you launch from and its moon, known as the Mün. There is also a sun called Kerbol. Kerbin and the Mün travel along an orbit, with Kerbin orbiting the sun and the Mün orbiting Kerbin thus emulating the Earth, Sun and Moon.

Like Minecraft, Kerbal Space Program leaves a lot of room for imagination. Players can create almost anything which has lead to the creation of several mods for the game which allow vehicles and other craft to be added to the game.

Kerbal Space Program has a small but thriving community of players although this looks set to expand as the developers plan to add more planets and moons, extra-vehicular activities and a space station. At the moment, Kerbal Space Program is free to play but it will eventually require payment to play once it has reached a higher level of development.

Kerbal Space Program is a unique and fun game. If you're a fan of Minecraft and have an interest in Space, you will particularly enjoy it.

After downloading Miner Wars, you can buy a pre-alpha license which will give you full access to the game today and to future updates, or register and play the demo mode free. The game starts with an in-cockpit view from your mining ship, though you can change the camera position to suit you. Flight is simple, using keyboard and mouse controls, and there are a range of additional controls for things like headlights and mining tools.

Miner Wars main attraction is the destruction possible. You can approach a huge asteroid and simply tunnel into it, or fire hundreds of missiles at it to break it to pieces. Miner Wars looks good, with detailed graphics that are convincing from a distance and up close. Like Minecraft, Miner Wars is currently quite aimless - you can do what you want, but for no particular reason! Some people might find this demotivating, but simply exploring, mining and chasing other ships can be fun for quite some time.

Miner Wars is a long way from complete, but is looking very promising. With an extensive singe and cooperative multiplayer mode, plus a Massively Multiplayer Online mode promised, it could prove hugely successful.

If you enjoy space simulators and open world games, Miner Wars is well worth checking out. We look forward to further developments!

Minecraft is a game where your imagination can run free. Why not extend that to the appearance of the game setting itself? With Minecraft SkingEdit you can do just that.

For users new to skinning, Minecraft SkinEdit is thankfully relatively easy to get a handle on. You've got a color palette to work with, and if you're unsure you're going to like the changes you've implemented there's a live preview option that comes with the editor. You never have to change anything permanently until you've previewed your work with Minecraft SkinEdit.

Minecraft SkinEdit also has a variety of different brushes at your disposal. You can also make use of shading effects like burn and dodge, and paint in larger areas with the flood fill feature. If you make a mistake with Minecraft SkinEdit, the program offers both undo and redo options.

Unfortunately, it can still be tricky to create a really innovative or aesthetically pleasing design in Minecraft SkinEdit, despite all of the options available to you. If you're not particularly artistically inclined, it could take you a lot of time to really master making an impressive looking skin. Results will vary by an individual user's artistic prowess, although the process of creating a new skin can be fun for just about any user to try out.

If you want to stand out while playing Minecraft online, Minecraft SkinEdit can help you do that, if you're willing to put in the time.
