Minecraft is one of the most successful games in Xbox 360 and when it was first introduced, not that many people believe that it would be a success especially when the Xbox 360 edition was introduced.

Minecraft was already an established game in its PC version and it was focused on building and crafting. As for the games available in Xbox 360, most of these games had a common theme: destroying something. This theme is far from the foundation of the Minecraft game. Despite that, Minecraft: Xbob 360 Edition was released and it became an instant hit. The game was officially released last May, 2012 and after 24 hours, it was downloaded more than 400,000 times.

The goal of the game is a very simple one: the player must build in order to survive and in order to survive in every level, the player must build more. The player needs to build its shelter before the night comes because there are monsters that are lurking which are ready to attack. The game offers plenty of resources that players could choose from when building their shelter. It may sound simple and boring but playing Minecraft is quite addicting. This is the reason why many people are downloading the game even if the priniciple of the game is building rather than destroying.
