Is Minecraft the most addictive game in the world?

Apparently, yes.

My three children, 12, 11 and 7 years old, the older two boys, cannot stop playing with it. It starts 1st thing in the morning with the first one up asking to get on Minecraft, then the others one after the other. Bizarre. The threat of taking it away from them is enough to guarantee good behaviour.

They all have their own worlds, but equally play together or on their own. They are constantly building new houses,underground world, flying spaceships, extensive waterworks of canals and pools, cottages, castles, theme parks and mazes.

All of this in the simplest of games, with the simplest of rules.

So, move over Angry Birds Minecraft probably is the most addictive game in the world.
