TIME Magazine Lists Minecraft in a Top 10 List
TIME Magazine recently assembled a "Top 10 Games of 2011" list, and named Minecraft in the #1 spot! They note the games' nearly endless, player-driven complexity and open-ended design as major draws, adding that "[Minecraft is] so great, it should be on the list every year." The game was lauded for its replayability and overall "fun" factor:
Quote from TIME Magazine »
The complexity comes from you: the Minecraft universe is so endlessly, pleasurably reconfigurable and customizable that it rewards you for the zillions of hours you sink into it by becoming a reflection of your imagination.
Minecraft's popularity is already well-known in gaming circles, but with each passing day, it becomes a known and loved fixture in more and more places; it is, in many ways, a cultural icon - one which is embodying a new generation of gaming. Who will be next to discover this amazing game? Time will tell!
Not surprised about Minecraft being in Times. Minecraft will be big, sensational, mind-blowing. Who knows how long it will take but it WILL happen, I just know it. Congratz Mojang for making one of the best games I've played in my 15 years of life so far!
Of course Minecraft is #1. How could it be anything else?
It is one of the greatest games I have ever played, and it has made my life awesome. It is truly a sandbox game, with the endless possibilities of things to do. It's your world, your own, your story, you wrote it...
I had a dream last night... I built the universe.
And you get to blow stuff up and burn whatever's left. That's fun too.
With that said, I have two words to say: I approve. Of this game, of it's community, and everything. Minecraft is my story and I wouldn't have it any other way.
So, finally, I have one question for you... how will you write yours?

Ope.
Looks like the competition just took an arrow in the knee.
