    Let’s take an in-depth look on the game itself, why it is on the top of children’s video games list along with some of its educational benefits. Yes, you heard that right. It does have educational benefits.

    The Game

    Minecraft was developed and founded by Markus Persson in 2011 and was released by Mojang. It is a sandbox video game that allows players to build structures in 3D, in whatever way they wish, making it exciting and indulging. Hence, it increases the creativity of the players. Minecraft also includes activities such as crafting and exploration, to name a few. So basically, players can roam freely or can do different activities. Singular and multiple players can play at a time, and there are various gameplay modes that they can be used

     

    •  Survival mode: The mode in which players have to gather resources for their survival and maintenance of health.
    • Creative mode: In this mode, players have an abundance of resources to build and can even fly.
    • Adventure mode: Adventure mode is the most interesting one as the players can play custom maps that are made by other players. In a way, it allows players to challenge the other players. However, it has its limitations as well.
    • Spectator mode: In this specific mode, players act like spectators. They don’t have to build or destroy anything and are allowed to roam, freely.
    • Hardcore mode: In the hardcore mode, the difficulty level is fixed at hard, and the players have only one chance of survival. Means that if the players die, then they cannot play in the same world again.

    Good article to read, that explains Minecraft in depth. The problem is that the text is black, on a black background that makes it difficult for viewers to read. Apart from that, it was a great read.

    • Elden Rings: The Best RPG game ever?

      Barida posted a record in Game News & Reviews ,

      Elden Ring  remains one of the most played games in the last 5 years. A game that was developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. Elden Ring, an RPG based game, was developed after successes recorded by the studio when they made games such as Dark Souls, Sekiro:Shadows Die Twice, and Bloodborne This game, released in early 2022, became the household favourite as a result of its challenging gameplay and competitiveness. 
       
      In the game, players take on the role of a fallen warrior assigned the role of reclaiming the Elden Ring in order to become the Elden Lord. Basically, the story unfolds in a non-linear manner, with lore pieces spread throughout the world, encouraging exploration and rewarding curiosity. 
      Elden Ring retains the punishing difficulty characteristics of games created by FromSoftware and has an addition of more open-world approach. The lands are vast and give players freedom to explore. This also makes the combat to be fluid with a series of weapons, abilities, and spells at the player's disposal. 
       
       
      Elden Ring has amazing graphics built-in and has challenges that even make the most seasoned players sit up with options for multplayers being competitive as well.
       

       
       
      Succinctly, Elden Ring is a success in the RPG genre as a result of its challenging gameplay, interesting storyline, and a beautifully crafted open world. For these, one would agree with me that Elden Ring is a must play for fans of RPG type of games. A decision not to be regretted.

    • Original Xbox

      Sonikku1011 posted a topic in Xbox Gaming,

      Does anyone here still have an original Xbox? I got one for free a few years ago from one of my coworkers. She thought the console wasn't working, but it turns out the av cables were faulty. Best of all, it was already modded and had a few emulators on it! Though the mod itself is pretty old. It's also one of the later models that doesn't have the issue with the clock capacitor leaking so I'm luck in that regard too! I think it's worth getting an original Xbox since not every original Xbox game runs on the 360 let alone not everyone even has a 360.

    • Have you started playing with Xbox Elite 2 Controller?

      Ja sa bong posted a topic in Xbox Gaming,

      I recently upgraded to using Xbox Elite 2 Controller and it feels so good using it. It's high time they get rid of the AAA batteries used in my former controller. Also, I like the textured grip this controller is designed. 
       
      What do you think about Elite Controller 2?

    • Favorite N64 Games

      Calamity posted a topic in Nintendo Gaming,

      What are your favorite N64 games? For me you have some of the hunch as Goldeneye, Mario Kart, Super Mario 64. I also really liked Pilot Wings and Destruction Derby 64 which were a bit lesser known
