Minecraft revolves around one simple principal: survival. The game is split into day and night cycles.

After more or less rewriting PC gaming's rulebook with Minecraft, Mojang now finds itself in a bit of an awkward position. No longer an up-and-coming one-man show, the house that Minecraft built has now stacked a number of additional hats atop Notch's trademark: mid-sized developer, upstart publisher, and possible Psychonauts 2 angel investor, among others.
