Scotland builds the stuff to build stuff in X-Box Live

Posted on by

Another win for the Scottish gaming industry after a rough patch? It does look that way as 4J Studios in Dundee are bringing Minecraft to XBox Live Arcade.

If you’ve not come across Minecraft yet, it’s a simple little indie game, in which players can build stuff.  Think great big 3D LEGO, with a hint of survival horror. The game’s open nature, refreshingly low-res graphics and immediate geek appeal has meant that it has now sold over 2.5m copies and players have used to build everything from a 1:1 scale USS Enterprise through to working 16-bit maths processor.
