The Xbox 360 version of Minecraft was released on May 9, 2012. It was originally developed by Mojang for the PC and co-developed for the Xbox 360 by 4J Studios. This is a game that will keep you busy for hours at end for what seems to be for no reason at all besides to build what ever you can conceive. When you are first are introduced to your world, you may think to yourself "Why am I here?". You start off in a 8-bit block world with no items, tools, equipment, weapons, or armor. Everything you must create on your own. In this version of Minecraft, everything available to create is already visible to you when you have the appropriate ingredients, versus trying to figure out what goes where on your own like on the PC version. Just remember, make sure you make shelter as soon as possible so Creepers don't spawn on top of you and blow the area up. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like everything in the full game is available to the Xbox version just yet. Minecraft does support four player online play and is recommended to play with others, especially while trying to make giant projects like a to scale Deathstar.

Bastion
Bastion is a game developed by Supergiant Games and published by Warner Bros in 2011. It has
an E-rating and available on the PC and Xbox 360 as an action-adventure RPG. If
you remember any of the games from back in the day, then you will remember how
easy it was to pick up the controller and just start playing. Well, it is just
as easy getting into this game. Using just six buttons on the 360, Bastion will
take you back to the days of the SNES. I remember a game called Secrets of
Mana, and specifically remember how many different colors it had in it.
Bastion definitely compares to it and with the retro style they went with. Bastion has great graphics quality and I think it helps a lot being sixty frames a second, although it doesn’t seem like the player’s character is. The music in Bastion is perfect for the games entirety; from the moment The Kid wakes up and the first boss fight you know where you are in the story. Every moment you spend in the game, emotions are all expressed through the music. The music even perfectly fits the theme for the game. I enjoy the narrator of Bastion, speaking to the player as if telling them a story.
Bastion takes you back the retro games you remember and loved playing at a younger age, and I am glad it did well at being the game that the developers wanted and that the consumers wanted. This game is very enjoyable to play and the story is extremely easy to just bury yourself into. This game is a must play and there really isn’t anything for the players to complain about.
