Games Like Minecraft
There are very few other games today that have managed to achieve "cult phenomenon" status as Mojang's Minecraft. The game's been sitting at the very top of the iTunes App Store "Paid Games" chart for as long as I can remember, and gamers have spent hundreds of hours crafting their own unique and blocky sandbox worlds. But despite the game's essential endless nature, sometimes you might be in the mood for some different kinds of crafting or sandbox adventuring.So we decided to compile a list of some other great games that are sure to make the Minecraft fan in all of us feel right at home. Maybe these games might change up that first-person crafting perspective, or maybe they might let you build some blocks on the moon. Either way, they're all decidedly Minecraft, but more importantly, they're all decidedly fun."The total amount of games like Minecraft today is positively staggering, and if I actually tried to write down every single one, then this list would quickly become as endless and infinite as your favorite sandbox-crafting games themselves! So if there are any other particularly good Minecraft-like experiences that we might have left out, be sure to point out your favorites in the comments section below!
The Lickening is everything that’s right with OUYA
With all the hype surrounding Soul Fjord lately, I thought it would be in my best interest to dust off the ol' OUYA this weekend and see what else had hit the console in the last few. One thing led to another, and after a few rounds of TowerFall (no matter what you planned on doing with your OUYA, as soon as you turn it on, it's always this) I somehow found myself trying to explain to my daughter how amazing the light cycle game from TRON was.How I got from a 2013 microconsole to a 1982 arcade game is anybody's guess. Let's just chalk it up to the organic nature of conversations.The OUYA has more than a few TRON light cycle knock offs in its store, so we downloaded a few in an attempt to blow her mind with early 80's awesomeness. Grid Racer was a functional enough clone, but it just didn't capture the spirit of the game that I was hoping to share with my daughter. Super Light Cycles was better, but it still left me wondering if my nostalgia was outpacing my enjoyment. Still, it was enough. The itch was scratched. It was time to move on.We proceeded to download a bunch of new games that we hadn't tried before (the OUYA is great for this, because even though the quality of games is all over the map, they're all free to try), and quickly found ourselves playing a bizarre little title called The Lickening.
Nicky Liow is a Developer With Nothing to Hide
Copyright is failing Nicky Liow. The developer got his start rearranging code in open source games passed around for free online. He's a self-taught programmer that learned by doing, and did so with the help of the free spread of ideas and information.Now he's giving something back. Nothing to Hide is his upcoming puzzle game -- an "anti-stealth" game where the goal is to constantly be seen. It's a blunt statement on the nature of surveillance culture and it's completely without copyright. The art, the code and the music are entirely in the public domain, even as the game is being developed.The game's funding, too, is open to the public. Nothing to Hide is offered through Liow's own site in a way that keeps him accountable. He only takes 25% of a pledge for each milestone (once at the start, and again when the game hits alpha, beta, and final release). Anyone unhappy with the state of the game can withdraw their remaining funds at any time.I spoke with Liow to discover why he sought to create an entirely "public" game. His inspiration, it seems, comes from the same place as his skill as a programmer.![Play against opponents from around the world in real-time with Solitaire Arena for Android [Sponsored]](/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/news-medium-1392651464-1.png "Play against opponents from around the world in real-time with Solitaire Arena for Android [Sponsored]")

Type 'Solitaire' into Google Play's search bar, and Google's digital marketplace will display hundreds, if not thousands, of different apps - many of which take different approaches to the aged-old card game.Solitaire Arena, a new title from developer MavenHut, focuses on Klondike Solitaire - a simple, yet complicated, form of the game that tasks you with sorting a deck of 52 shuffled cards into their unique suits in order from Ace to King.Solitaire Arena may sound like a lot of the other Solitaire titles that are available on Google Play, but it features a pretty unique tournament mechanic that makes it stand out from the crowd.If, like I, you reshuffle your deck and start your game of Solitaire from scratch as soon as you make a bad move or realise you aren't going to be able to finish your current game, you'll find Solitaire Arena's eight-player tournaments incredibly tricky.
The Best Flappy Bird Post-Mortem in the World
Scouring Twitter activity through Topsy, download data from App Annie, and developer Dong Nguyen's own Twitter feed, Christina Warren from Mashable has written the best post-mortem yet on Flappy Bird. Her conclusion: no download bots were involved (sorry, haters!)In a story stranger than fiction, Flappy Bird languished in obscurity from the time it launch in April 2013 until November 2013 when the first "love/hate" tweet about the game appeared. From then, reviews started to trickle into the App Store at a rate of 20 a day. And then, boom! The game first appeared in the Top 250 Free Games chart on Dec 13, hit the Top 10 on January 10 and hit the #1 Free Spot on January 17. On January 24, the media took notice. And that's when things really got crazy.For the full timeline, read the full story, 28 Days of Fame: The Strange, True Story of Flappy Bird.

Browser Pick: FAIF
FAIF is a quick-and-easy game of chance where players select five adjacent tiles on a game board, and attempt to defeat their opponent. The trick to the game is that while five tiles are selected, the game decides which of the five tiles is triggered.Each tile-type triggers something different. There are four tile types: heart, sword, gem, and skull. If a heart tile is chosen as the winner, the player receives one extra health point. Landing on a skull instantly removes one health point. Winning a gem tile awards the player gems in the amount of how many were selected in the group of five. If a sword tile is the winning tile, damage is done to the opponent equal to the amount of skulls in the group of five. So basically you cannot damage the opponent without taking a risk of being hit yourself.
Darkest Dungeon focuses on mental health over swords and sorcery
As the new generation of video game consoles is absorbed into households all around the world, millions of people are getting their first glimpse at the next generation of video games. Unquestionably, the majority of these gamers will gleefully murmur "it's so realistic" as they hack their way through Ryse, or blast their way to the frontlines in Killzone. Realism is what many developers aim for, and the easiest way to appear realistic is to simply look realistic.Realistic graphics go a long way towards helping to immerse the player into the game's story. However, that realism stops as soon as the battles begin. While some lucky few may make it through a battle, or even a war, unscathed, no one escapes the mental damage that being exposed to such carnage causes. Few games have ever stopped to take into consideration the psychological toll of battle on a character, let alone allow the player experience those side effects as part of the game.The game developers at Red Hook Studios have been itching to explore how players will handle heroes who are liable to suffer from the mental side effects of battle, in their upcoming game, Darkest Dungeon.
