Cobalt Has Arrived!
The Day Has Come - For Cobalt
Long ago, side-scrolling platform games were the final word in gaming - they were the measure of entertainment, skill and determination. As time went on, that unique brand of fun somehow never wore out - if anything, it only got better with time. And now, here we are in the future; better hardware, smarter players and an ever-growing demand have come together into a single, shining point of light - and that light is Cobalt!
Much like Minecraft in it's infancy, Cobalt is being released in an Alpha stage today, to let people have a chance to play-test it, and see the game as it develops firsthand. Developed by indie team Oxeye Game Studios and published by Mojang, this highly addictive action platformer already has the makings of a great game. Want to try it out for yourself? Check out the official Cobalt Forums and Cobalt Wiki now for details!
Music: 5/5
Graphics: 4/5
Control: 3/5
Content: 1/5
Overall rating: 4/5 (considering it is in alpha)
It is a little bit discouraging at first, the controls take some time to get used to but once you do it is very fun. Its the type of game where you have to be on your toes the entire time. Let down your guard and you are toast. With an added map editor, multiplayer and more content it could be very successful.
Are you joking? I hope you are joking and not being serious. That is honestly, the most idiotic thing I have heard all day.
Mario was a game similar to Donkey Kong. Both came out at around the same year and are thought to be the first true platform games. Platform games that came later aren't really knock-offs, they're different games of the same genre that were inspired by the popularity of these early games. Most of these games wouldn't have really taken off if it wasn't for the advancements in graphics hardware that enabled support for smooth scrolling sideways levels.

"News and Announcements
Find all the latest news related to Minecraft here."
If the News section was for other game related content then WHY is it labeled sooo specifically? explain that.
"Other Games"
Discuss everything from PC Games to Nintendo DS Games. Any games except Minecraft.
Why is ALL of this not placed in this section, we are shunted to use this section, and that is where I should have to go in order to see this garbage posted everywhere, not plastered on the front page of a MINECRAFT FORUM.
"who are you to tell them not to"
oh, I don't know, the customer? durr. are you that blind you idiotic substandard.
why the hell are you trying to tell me off like I can't make an observation post so I can have my voice heard? what you think just because Mojang can advertise here they should? you are pathetic. Cobalt isn't even a Mojang developed game, not Skyrim, not WoW, not Diablo III, not SW: TOR, so what the **** are they doing in the MINECRAFT NEWS SECTION?
if what I ask is too much; then **** this ****, I'm not going to waste my money on Mojang, I may only be one customer but I know for a fact that others feel the EXACT same way I do.
( I don't care if Curse owns this Forum, I don't care if Curse owns the Internet, just because Comcast owns my Modem does that mean I should see commercials on my Computer screen every-time I turn it on?? HELL NO!!!
well everyone it was a nice run, but Minecraft has officially SOLD OUT, there was a time where you could peacefully live in your little Minecraft world, but corporate greed and political agenda have hand in hand ruined another AMAZING program.
All complaints of "omfg dey wrkin on nother gaem no more care 4 miencart durhur" is bull.
we will see about that...
I used to praise Minecraft to all of my friends.
