I've been enjoying some demos of Mindcraft - even though their television spots upset me. (I saw the vids on the web and.. yeah, upsetting isms ahoy). The part I like (and thus makes me hesitant about buying, given the recent new releases - it's in beta currently and keeps releasing updated models) is that I can play on peaceful, and through the community have lots of (save game) puzzle mysteries etc to go exploring in, or do farming type things, etc, or breed my own pegasus or hunt for a unicorn to add to my stable, or design a home, garden, city, whatever, etc...

The newer releases seem very much rpg/action adventure oriented with new monster releases and a hunger bar etc and much less 'this is the product, do what you want with it' - which is the aspect that appeals to me the most.

Makes me a bit sad actually, I'd gotten excited that despite the PR which I dislike there might be an actual game that wouldn't bore me - and... well...

Now I'm curious about Glitch and going to go peek.
