Minecraft: Game of the Year
Minecraft should be named top game of the year because of its server list, its capabilities when mining, and the challenges one faces when you try and conquer the game’s monsters and players. “Minecraft at heart is a building game where players construct their own world out of blocks, making anything from a forest to the Eiffel Tower, like a kind of digital Lego without an instruction book. In a world of shoot 'em up games with ever sharper graphics and more realistic gore, Minecraft stands out as a quirky outsider (McVeigh 2).” With Minecraft you can be playing with friends in servers with tens of thousands of people. Without knowing it you are learning something new. …show more content…
It is the way you complete the main goal in Minecraft, defeating the Ender Dragon. There are many ways to mine some boring, some fun, and some explosive. When playing in a boring fashion, players do not take as many risks and they go slower than a sloth. Even though the fun way is more epic than the boring way it causes players to take up more risks and will usually end up getting everyone dropped straight into a pit of lava. The explosive way is used by making a long strip mine and placing tnt two to four blocks away from each other and lighting off one end or you can just place a bunch of TNT in a cave system.
There are hundreds maybe even thousands of challenges waiting when playing Minecraft from speed runs to longest distance riding a pig. Many of these challenges involve playing on servers or other people’s maps. Even though many of the challenges have additional goals, like defeating the ender dragon or fighting custom Npc's (Non-Playable Characters), there are many that make you explore the world on a pig or on a horse. There are many challenges “witch” one is for
