Minecraft
Minecraft is an open world “sandbox” game developed by Mojang Studios and eventually sold to Microsoft. It was made public in 2009 and fully released in 2011 and has maintained continuous popularity since its launch. It’s considered the best-selling game of all time, with 238 million copies sold and 140 million monthly users. The gameplay consists of the player placed in a “blocky” world that is 3D based, but also simplistic.
Players can explore landscapes, build structures, craft tools and weapons, build simple and complex machines and much more. The worlds are infinite, generated on the fly, but created by an initial “seed” which creates a random landscape. There are four game modes: creative, survival spectator and adventure. In creative mode, players have unlimited resources to build and explore. In survival mode, players must maintain health and get resources. Minecraft is often cited as one of the greatest video games of all time, and there are no other games like it. The game also allows for multiplayer mode, in which players interact in a shared world, often via Minecraft servers. There is also a wide variety of “mods” available, which are user-created customizations of everything from blocks to player capabilities.

World of Warcraft
World of Warcraft is a MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) originally released in 2004 by Blizzard Entertainment. It was based on the Warcraft series of console games. It was an instant huge success and quickly became the most popular MMORPG of all time. It peaked at 12 million subscribers in 2010 and has grossed over $9 billion in revenue.
The gameplay allows the player to create an avatar and explore the open game world and complete quests, as well as interact with NPCs (Non Player Characters) and other players. The game can be played solo or in teams to complete quests and engage in PVP (Player vs Player) combat. The goal is to progress your character and build up capabilities by earning experience points. Completing quests will reward players with experience points, items and in-game currency. Group quests often take place in dungeons, whereby the team can defeat enemies and achieve goals. Players can also buy and sell items using in-game currency.
Games are played via servers, known as “realms” and can be played in Normal or RP (Role Play) mode. World of Warcraft requires a monthly paid subscription as well as parental controls, which enables setting of time limits.
