Minecraft Beats Modern Warfare 3 and FIFA 13 on XBLA
Options
Notch's creation has hit the number one sport on the Microsoft's Live activity chart for the first time.
Minecraft is being played by more people on Xbox Live Arcade than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 or FIFA 13.
As posted by Major Nelson, the Microsoft Live activity chart for the week ending October 15 shows Minecraft (Xbox 360 Edition) has topped the charts for the very first time, beating out retail heavy-hitters Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and FIFA 13. They had to settle for second and third places, respectively.
A quick scan through previous chart updates shows that Call of Duty games have pretty much nabbed the top spot for the past four years. It's another colossal milestone for the game, which was recently revealed to have sold four million copies on Microsoft's console, making it the best-selling XBLA game ever.
The Microsoft Live activity chart counts how many unique users are playing a game whilst connected to Xbox Live. In addition to Minecraft, Modern Warfare 3 and FIFA 13, the rest of the top five is rounded out by Call of Duty: Black Ops and Borderlands 2.
Minecraft was the recipient of a massive patch last week, which brought with it a host of changes to the game. A full list of the latest additions and changes can be found in the Minecraft Wiki.

Not really impressive considering MW3 came out last year. Never played it, but Minecraft LOOKS wack as ? , I could be wrong tho (doubt it lol).
-

yeah you can b. In the original vanilla version you can make bombs, and you can also shoot arrows
in the mods you can make nukes, guns, turrets, and more.
Plus the skins are dope

You can, there's tons of mods.
They have bows and arrows though, you can enchant them to have knockback or fire. You can enchant your armor or swords as well. There's TNT in the game, you can make a cannon that shoots TNT.

It's a survival/ adventure game, also a creative game.
You start off wherever it spawns you, your goal is to mine/collect items to live. You'd chop down trees to collect wood; housing, tools, weapons, boats, fencing, doors etc. You need to survive vs mobs; zombies, skeletons, spiders, endermen, bats and creepers. Each mob has a defense. You look for minerals; coal, iron, gold, diamond etc..
It's a survival game.
There's also maps people custom create:
Survival Islands, you have limited resources and have to figure out how to make it with that.
Puzzle maps, there's certain rules depending on the map maker but you have to properly figure out how to escape each area.
Competitions as well, that are like a series of mini games comparable to Survivor (TV show) or some sort of Gladiator type of royal rumble w brackets.
It's dope. There's no limit to the game, you can do whatever and however. -
