MINECRAFT
One thing that you should always know, is to start Minecraft knowing nothing. I started with the wiki page and
this video : http://bit.ly/9GpbW1. But do yourself a favor and don't open any tutorial UNTIL you have tried to play the game 5 times yourself. When an expert gives you tips for your first night, you have eradicated some fun off of Minecraft. Anyway, let's go on:
Controls
The controls are very, very basic. WASD to move, hold left mouse button to destroy blocks, right mouse button for placing destroyed blocks. The inventory button is E. The 'sneak' button is the left shift button and also a VERY useful technique. It makes you able to stand on edges and not falling down.
Gameplay
This is where Minecraft shines. The gameplay. When you make your first world, you start preparing for the night where thre are all types of monsters. How do you prepare you ask? Well start collecting blocks, and then there will be a little item that has fallen! Now with those items start crafting! Open your inventory and start crafting! A little tip from me, is to always hear what is happening. And that's the most what I can explain without going into spoilers. If you like spoilers though, check out the minecraft wiki!
Also, if you are a 'builder-guy' type, you can play on creative where basically Minecraft becomes lego(minus those bumps, damn does it hurt stepping on those!)

Audio
The music is pretty good, although the pause between one song and the other is a bit too long for my taste. The sounds of walking are a bit repetitive, but I haven't truly thought about them, amongst the dangers of the night. There's also some pretty scary sound when you are exploring caves. A big tip though, always hear what is happening around you and always know when some strange sound happens.
Graphics
The graphics are just marvelous. Kidding, it's more ugly than you can imagine. But hey, if you like advertisements, you can try out Sphax's PureBDcraft! It's makes Minecraft have delicious graphics.

Requirements
The requirements are normal for this game, although be very careful when using TNT in this game. It lags like having a dial-up modem with someone on the phone and using the internet.
Verdict
Depends on what you like. If you can give a game a chance, you will see that you will give 100+ hours to this game. If you can't, well play the game at a later time. It's VERY addicting!
