Minecraft on Oculus Canceled
Mojang's Markus Persson has canceled an Oculus-compatible version of Minecraftfollowing Facebook's acquisition of the VR company.
"We were in talks about maybe bringing a version of Minecraft to Oculus," Persson said. "I just cancelled that deal. Facebook creeps me out."
Perhaps we'll see a VR version of Minecraft for Sony's PS4 Project Morpheus VRdevice, or any upcoming Microsoft VR initiative. An existing mod allows players to use Oculus Rift with Minecraft, however.

Notch Teases a Secret in Minecraft
During a conversation between Minecraft creator Markus 'Notch' Persson and SpyParty's Chris Hecker at GDC 2012, Persson teased there's still some undiscovered secret in Minecraft. Though no additional details were provided on what it might be, the subject came up during a crafting discussion where Hecker and Persson were talking about how consulting a wiki was almost a required part of the play experience.
To date, Minecraft has sold almost 5.2 million copies. You'd figure everything about the game would be known at this point considering how long it's been available and how active the modding community is, but apparently one secret has eluded even the most hardcore players.
During the discussion Persson touched on a number of topics about Minecraft's development, and expressed regret over introducing half-blocks and neglecting to implement multiplayer earlier in the development process. He also noted why no female character model was included in the game. "It ends up being extremely sexist," said Persson of an earlier attempt to make it happen.

Minecraft-ing with Friends
Last time we checked out Minecraft on XBLA, the most amazing feature was the in-game crafting system and guide. For a game so dependent on wikis and online recipe discovery, this addition was a fantastic way to keep players in-game and not meandering the internet looking for ways to grow a garden.
But a new demo revealed that not only does Minecraft have a self-contained crafting system, it also supports four-player splitscreen, letting teams of friends chill out on the couch building entire worlds together. With four people chipping away in the mines, the frame rate stays super-smooth, making it a great way to spend time with the people next to you on the couch without even having to look at them.
This jump-in-jump-out co-op also breaks into additional combinations once taken online. Up to eight people can maneuver around in any given world, meaning that eight people, playing splitscreen in two locations can all team up, or four teams of two, or any combination in between. The connectivity is seamless, and it's hilarious to see your teammates dressed in one of several curious outfits including tuxedoes, Boris Becker's short tennis shorts, or the classic Minecraft guy.
This local connectivity brings Minecraft players together in a way that the PC version never could. If you've still never heard of Minecraft, make sure you check out our PC Minecraft review to see what it's all about.

Minecraft 1.2 Released
While pre-releases have been available for players who wanted to preview the upcoming content, the rest of us can finally check it out with today's final 1.2 release. Today's update adds the adorable ocelot, iron golems and a new jungle biome.
The build height of Minecraft has also been altered, letting players now build 256 blocks into the sky, as opposed to the previous 128. Villagers will now also have children if there is space, tamed wolves will breed, and mobs now have rare drops. Additional blocks and items have also been added, though the post on Mojang's site doesn't include which.
To get an entertaining overview of the update, check out the trailer below.

Minecraft For Xbox 360 To Have Frequent Updates... Hopefully
In an interview with Edge Paddy Burns, chief technology officer at 4J Studios, says that Microsoft is aware of the need for more frequent updates for Minecraft.
Rolling out updates for the Xbox 360 is a long process, and one that has received complaints from other developers. Ultimately, the process is arduous to assure quality, but if 4J Studios can get Microsoft to streamline the process, I'm sure many other developers would be happy. On the other side though, if Microsoft gives Minecraft special treatment that it doesn't afford other developers, then that could be a problem.
Pending any unforeseen delays, we should be seeing Minecraft for Xbox 360 in late winter or early spring of this year.

My Review For Minecraft.
Minecraft is a massive creative sandbox game that allows players to create just about anything they can imagine anything from castles, to stupid cartoon characters, it also has a fun and challenging survival mode where you must build a Shelter and survive through the night against monsters known as mobs such a skeleton archers, giant spiders, zombies, and then nasty mobs, one known as a creeper which will blow up if you get to close and another called a enderman which If looked at will teleport to attack you. The game it self is fun and addictive trying to survive while collecting supplies but mods are needed for a sense of a complete game such as ones that have you helping NPC villages build there city. All and all I still enjoy the game for what it is and what its able to become thanks to mods I give Minecraft a

Minecraft creator unleashes Cobalt
Mojang would love for its second title, Oxeye Game Studio's Cobalt, to follow in the successful footsteps of its first. That title, Minecraft, employed a pre-release sales model that saw the game spawn a dedicated fan convention before it even officially launched, and Mojang's next title will see if that approach can work again.
