This game is breaking records with kids of all ages. (adults too actually!) The creative and building aspects of Minecraft enable players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D procedurally generated world. Other activities in the game include exploration, resource gathering, crafting, and combat. Multiple gameplay modes are available, including survival mode. While the official age requirement for downloading Minecraft is 13 years, children are starting to get hooked to this game as early as 6 years. A little alarming I would say!
