Minecraft Now On Android Market!

For those of you who just can't get enough Minecraft and are running an Android device; you should be thrilled! Minecraft has been released on the Android Market as: Minecraft-Pocket Edition!  Honestly, I haven't tried this app yet out of sheer fear that I will get hooked.

Minecraft took the world by storm earlier this year as a game with extremely simple graphics but extremely addictive gameplay.  Essentially providing an outlet for gamer's to build their own worlds and environments as they see fit using an assortment of blocks.  Beware, if you are looking to purchase this app it sells for a whopping $6.99; however, there is a free demo available on the Android Market as well.  The demo doesn't save the world between sessions, limits player's to 18 of the 36 blocks, and multiplayer worlds can't be copied to your device.  So; as you can see it is rather limited, but should give you a taste of the game anyways.
