Free Meat Friday: Minecraft (XBLA)

The "free meat" prize today is a copy of Minecraft on Xbox LIVE Arcade. You've probably heard many things about Minecraft on PC, confusing things, things that leave you wondering what all the hubbub is about. Well, Minecraft is basically the unofficial Lego game you...maybe wanted? I love Legos and I have grown into a fan of Minecraft after my initial, "What the fluff am I supposed to be doing?!" moment. The game takes a little time to comprehend, but if you like the idea of a giant sandbox with no real goals, Minecraft is just for you.

All that said, Minecraft on XBLA is a solid version of its PC brother, but it's an older version—about a year older—and whether or not it gets updated fast and often is up in the air. (Hopefully the developer's sentiment in this article is true.) What the XBLA version lacks will only bother those familiar with the PC version and, either way, Minecraft on XBLA is still a fun version of the game, whether you're playing alone or with friends over Xbox LIVE (or split-screen if you can get it to work). I will now shut up and let you get the juicy details on how you can win a copy of Minecraft on XBLA!

All you have to do to enter is click THIS and then click "Retweet." -- Make sure you follow me, @Kush3, so I can DM you with details if a winner is you. Otherwise, a winner is who? Seriously though, a failure to follow simple instructions can turn a potential winner into one of many "losers." And if you'd like a second entree to double your chances, leave a comment on any post during the duration of the giveaway and you'll be entered twice in this here giveaway. You-all have until Sunday (05/13/12) at 12PM CST to enter due to the now common later-than-usual start and the winner will be contacted soon after.

ENTREE PERIOD IS OVER. WINNERS IN PROCESS OF BEING SELECTED.

Here's to hoping! Minecraft on the PC is awesome and some buddies have been checking it out on XBLA, they say it's really good. Would love to be able to play this with em.
