First of all to Madness I must say y first impression of the game when you first showed it to me was it looked terrible keep in mind I had only seen stills which give the game absolutely no justice as to how great it looks.
Now this is for all the members who are looking at getting Minecraft or want to know wtf it is check out this youtube channel there is a series "X's Adventures in Minecraft" which I am currently halfway through that pretty much is a massive tutorial but mainly shows you gameplay features interesting things and has a cool little storyline to it in a way.
