At first glance and without knowing much about it I dismissed the Minecraft game as uninteresting to me. It looked 8 bit and blocky and dull. Then my son pulled me into the living room to show me what he had done in the game. He had sculpted a dragon and a mine cart roller coaster looping around it. Wow. We dove in together and have built a lot of fun stuff in there. It's like lego with a near infinite number of blocks.
