6. Creepers - Minecraft

1238246

Minecraft is a game whose strengths and popularity derive from the raw creative openness it offers players. Here are some building blocks, here's a lovely open world to fill with them, now go forth and create. The survival mode gives a more focused take on this formula, as you also need to eat, build and fight to survive in the world.

It's a real blast, though that description becomes all too literal with the dreaded Creepers about...

At a glance, creepers are your classic survival game zombies, albeit made up of a pile of little pixel-blocks. They almost look kind of sweet, though you obviously know better than to go anywhere near them. If, however, one creeps up on your house in the dead of night, then your precious building can be instantaneously smashed to rubble, as the buggers blow themselves up.

These verdant suicide bombers are not only a threat to you but also to your buildings - i.e. the whole damn reason you play this game in the first place.
