Minecraft with guns?

[ThunderWulf]

Apparently a new indie game came out recently on the XBOX 360 called "Castle Miner".  The game is basically another indie clone of Minecraft.  The original version was a creative only mode with no monsters, but "Castle Miner Z" was then realeased which is more like Minecraft's survival mode.  The only difference is that they made fighting mobs into more of a first person shooter, complete with guns and everything.  It's basically if Minecraft and Left 4 Dead had a bastard child.  Not sure if want or not.

Normally, I'd comment on how Minecraft was based off of a game called Infiniminer (or something like that) but this is pretty obviously a rip-off of Minecraft, only with a higher polygonal character which doesn't fit in at all with the world, and the crafting system is simplified.

Also, from what I've heard they put like a farmville-esque element into it where you can only unlock certain things by getting a certain number of friends to play the game or something like that.

That's stupid.

I don't mind spinoffs, but this is just stupid.

I'll wager that once Minecraft comes out on the Xbox 360, we'll see far far FAR less of these Minecraft knock-offs.

In all honesty, though, the fact that all of these Infiniminer clones are coming out after Minecraft came out really means they're Minecraft clones.
