Minecraft on iOS?!?

Have my dreams come true?


Yes they sure have, I can finally have Minecraft anywhere I go now...take that Xperia!!!! iOS 5 released Minecraft on November 17th. With a slightly steep price for a mobile device or iPad tablet, stepping at $6.99, it is actually a worth the price. If you Minecraft lovers played the beta and alpha then you would like the fact that you can have the complete version of the game for your iPhone and/or iPad.

The games release on the iOS platform was just in time for MineCon, a convention held in Las Vegas, Nevada for MineCraft lovers all around the world! Starting as a PC game that everyone instantly fell in love with, moving to a mobile platform, and is going to be released on Xbox Live Arcade quarter 1 of 2012. This is a huge step for developer company, Mojang.

Although, Android Market got Minecraft 1st, because of Xperia Play, this game would be completely compatible with iOS 4.3 or higher, so yes you can play this on any generation of iPhone and iPad. Many people that are using iPhones are extremely ecstatic for this release that happened a few days ago, including myself. Since it's release I have been draining my battery on my phone because of constant playing.

The game was all scripted with Java and ran beautifully on a PC, but since the new release on iOS they had to go a different route with coding their game. C++ is the next, extremely complicated, best thing. They had to make the transition to a new coding language because Java doesn't work with iOS.

Say WHAT!!!!???!!!!

Modern Warfare 3 was released on Tuesday November 8th, 2011. On that day alone it has reached the biggest launch......well EVER!!!

Yes that is right people EVER!!! 6.5 million copies sold in less than 24 hours, now that is one amazing accomplishment for Infinity Ward, Activision, and Sledgehammer games. Although this is Sledgehammers 1st huge debut in gaming they did a great job in conquering the heights of this game with a great team such as Infinity Ward.

Ok back to something we all love to talk about MONEY! Well we will start with Modern Warfare 2 cashing in $90 million 1st day of their sales, Black Ops raked in about $40 million and last, but obviously not least by making a killing with $400 million only a few days ago! That is more than a whole village of people would make in their entire life! Take that James Cameron! To also give you guys another "big eye" stare at the computer screen this is only two regions in the world, the US and UK.

I personally was a part of these sales and numbers that they received, but I am an all around gamer and constantly get games. Although they made a killing with their sales they are still having a ton of complaints by gamers all across the world! Many people have already claimed to take the game back, but Activision loses no money nor sleep from the unsatisfied gamers. Activision is a huge part of the gaming world from the Tony Hawk franchise to Guitar Hero. They will always be making these powerful moves and as long the name Call of Duty is on it, that is a easy million right there!


You guys decide are these numbers too outrageous for a video game and for the gamers out there what game to you think should take the title for Game of the Year, GOTY?
