    Minecraft

    Okay, peeps, tell me about this game. C likes the free version on my phone, but would like to be able to save. What are the differences between the downloaded game, the browser version, and the pocket (iphone paid) version? Ideally, I would like cross platform access to the same saved game, but I really don't want to drop a ton of money on this. Can he play on the browser version and then pick the game up on the paid pocket version?

    I really, really don't want him monopolizing either the phone or the lone computer in the house...

    Highly addictive. My teen (16) plays endlessly on Xbox . He paid for the computer version that has more options and the most recent updates, but he mostly plays on Xbox live so he can play with his friends. They have created a whole Minecraft society on there.

      I don't know if it saves across platforms. My ds11 plays on his iPhone (paid version) and sometimes computer (paid version). He mostly plays on the iPod. It is highly addictive. The free versions for iPod and computer don't allow you to save progress I think.

        All of my kids love this. It can be addictive but it inspired Alex to take a Java class. He started programming calculators and is now onto computer programs...

          G just started playing this last week. He started on my phone (demo) which kind of sucked because you can't save it. K downloaded it onto the kids' computer (whatever free version they have) and that seems to be enough for now. And as a matter of fact, K has been playing it since the kids went to bed nearly 4 hours ago, under the guise of creating a "fun castle for G". Hmm. Yeah. Let me know if you get whatever version that can be played online and I'll get the same for G and he and C can play each other. (bear in mind I have no clue what this is even about...)

            I am going to do the free demo online for now... If he sucks up enough (earns enough money through extra chores etc) then I will consider buying either the pocket edition or the full PC version.

              My son says if you are buying one, get the PC version, it's the best.
