I have to confess….I don’t get Minecraft.  I do get the appeal of building things.  You’re talking to a member of the LEGO VIP club here (my wife wishes that was something I made up).  But I don’t really see the badly pixelated world of Minecraft as something to really spark my imagination.  Clearly I am in the minority as the game has done gangbusters on every platform for which it has been released and the next generation console versions for Xbox One and Playstation 4 have now hit stores.  Never let it be said that I denied you cheevo lists when you needed them!  As always, thank you to xboxachievement.com for being the best site for gemerscore addicts on the Internet.
